Basic
Design of Concrete Foundation & Soil Investigation
Introduction:
Concrete is widely used for making
architectural structures, foundations, brick, block walls, pavements, bridges,
overpasses, highways, runways, parking structures, dams, pools, reservoirs,
pipes, footings for gates, fences and poles and even boats. Concrete is used in
large quantities almost everywhere mankind has a need for infrastructure. Foundation is the base of any structure.
Without a firm foundation, the structure cannot stand. That is the reason why
we have to be very cautious with the design of foundations because our entire
structure rests on the foundation. The strength of the foundation determines
the life of the structure. The design of foundation depends on the type of
soil, type of structure and its load.
Course Objectives:
By the end of this course delegates will be able to:
· Have a working
knowledge needed for design of shallow and deep foundation systems, and their
interacting soil behaviors
· Know how to
estimate and control settlements and handle or modify difficult soil conditions
· Understand
basic concepts for planning, design, and construction of a wide range of
foundation systems
Who Should Attend?
Civil and Structural Engineers and Designers, Soils and
Foundation Engineers, Public Works Professionals, Project Engineers and
Managers, Contractors, Engineers-in-Training, Architectural Engineers and Architects
