Catalog Description
Site exploration. Lateral loads. Earth retaining structures. Performance requirements. Shallow and deep foundations. Slope stability.
Course Objectives
This course focuses on evaluating the appropriate components of subsurface exploration including in-situ and laboratory activities leading to a selection of relevant data in designing and analyzing foundation engineering applications in accordance with a set of constraints and expected/stated limits of performance requirements, and on assessing the effect of soils and relevant improvement methodologies on support systems and natural as well as man-made slopes.
Course Learning Outcomes
Upon successful completion of this course, students will be able to:
- Evaluate appropriate components of subsurface exploration including in-situ and laboratory activities,
- Select relevant data for design and analysis in foundation engineering applications,
- Design foundations to meet the inherent constraints and expected/required performance limits,
- Assess the effect of soils and relevant improvement methodologies under varying conditions on support systems and natural/man-made slopes.
Assessment Methods and Criteria Others:
In-class activities, homework
