| CIVE 2004P - Geotechnical Foundation Sys |
|
The structural loads of buildings, bridges, towers, and
other civil engineering projects must somehow be
transmitted to the underlying natural geomaterials using
a foundation system that is safe, stable, and economical.
Since site-specific information is required for each
particular structure, an emphasis is made on the use of
geotechnical in-situ testing for a rational and proper
assessment of the ground. The Geotechnical Foundation
Systems course reviews analytical procedures for the
evaluation of shallow and deep foundation systems. You
will discover methods for calculating ultimate bearing
capacity (limit plasticity solutions) and load-displacement
behavior (elasticity theory). For deep foundation systems,
you will learn additional considerations for evaluating side
resistance by effective stress approach and direct cone
penetration test methods. Many case studies are
intermingled throughout the course to illustrate the
analytical procedures and verify their applicability.
