Course Details
• Statics and Strength of Materials: Understanding the fundamental principles of statics, equilibrium, and strength of materials is crucial for analyzing and designing foundation systems. This unit covers topics such as forces, moments, centroids, and stress transformations. • Soil Mechanics: This unit delves into the properties and behavior of soils, including topics such as soil classification, index properties, shear strength, and consolidation. Understanding these concepts is essential for determining the bearing capacity and settlement of foundations. • Geotechnical Engineering: This unit explores the practical applications of soil mechanics and foundation engineering, including site investigation, in-situ testing, and foundation design for various types of structures. • Foundation Analysis and Design: This unit covers the analysis and design of shallow and deep foundations, including spread footings, mat foundations, and piles. It also includes topics such as eccentric and inclined loads, soil-structure interaction, and load transfer mechanisms. • Steel and Concrete Design: Knowledge of structural design is essential for foundation engineering. This unit covers the design of steel and concrete elements, including beams, columns, and slabs, using relevant design codes and standards. • Numerical Analysis in Foundation Engineering: This unit introduces numerical methods and software tools commonly used in foundation engineering, such as finite element analysis (FEA) and limit equilibrium methods. It covers the principles of these methods and their application in solving foundation engineering problems. • Construction Materials and Testing: This unit covers the properties and testing of construction materials commonly used in foundation engineering, such as concrete, steel, and soil. It includes topics such as material selection, mix design, quality control, and non-destructive testing.
