Course Description
This course covers the basics for Foundations Engineering or Geotechnical Engineering. It includes such topics as Calculation of Lateral Earth Pressure on Structures, Retaining Walls, Shallow and Deep Foundations. There will be a second part, Part II of the same course Name which would complement this first part and give the students more thorough understanding of Geotechnical Engineering Basics.
This course will quickly review the basics of soil mechanics. It will design shallow foundations. It will also design pile foundation, pile caps, sheet piles and more. It will introduce reinforced earth earth and will also cover the design. Of a variety of retaining walls. There will also be revisions and solved exams.
Hoping that students will get the best out of the 2 parts.
Goals
- The main objectives of this Course, parts I and II, is to give the students a good base for the understanding of Soil structures interaction. Whether you are a student or a practicing Engineer, I am sure that the course will be very useful to you.
