Design Building Foundation

DESCRIPTION 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. As we discussed in the earlier article, design of foundation depends on the type of soil, type of structure and its load. This course deals with all aspects of modern good practice in foundation design. These include: the importance of both the geological and geotechnical aspects of the ground conditions, current limit analysis methods for bearing capacity, and definition of factors of safety. The various settlement analyses and their underlying assumptions and reliability are discussed, together with a thorough treatment of the design of piled foundations. PURPOSE

• Have a working knowledge needed for design of shallow, intermediate, and deep foundation systems and their interacting soil behaviors
• Know how to estimate and control settlements and handle or modify difficult soil conditions
• Become more effective on your job understand basic concepts for planning, design, and construction of a wide range of foundation systems
