CIE 533LEC - Adv Foundation Design

This course covers the design and construction of foundation systems and addresses site investigation; selection of soil parameters; design of shallow foundations (single footings, strip footings, and mat foundations); deep foundations (piles and caissons); earth structures (retaining walls, sheet piles, bracing, tie backs, anchors, and reinforced earth), and ground improvement. This is a design-oriented course in which students work on a project, in groups of three, from schematic design through a final design report.
