Description

Brief on Pile Foundation:

Pile foundations are deep foundations. They are formed by long, slender, columnar elements typically made from steel or reinforced concrete, or sometimes timber. A foundation is described as ‘piled‘ when its depth is more than three times its breadth. Atkinson, 2007

Course Objectives and Outcomes:

  • The course covers relevant topics from Foundation Engineering and gives you an insight on various topics in detail.
  • This course addresses various types of Pile foundation, Classification of Pile Foundation, Pile load capacity in compression, Pile in Granular soils (sand), Piles in Clay, Numericals on Pile Foundation, Group action of Piles, free-standing Pile, Ultimate load capacity of pile group, Pile Group in Sand and clay, Numericals on Pile Group in Sand and clay, Group Efficiency of Piles, Group Settlement Ratio, Settlement of Pile Group in clay, Settlement of Pile Group in Sand, Numericals on Settlement of pile group.
  • The student will be able to design the pile foundation based on theories explained in the course module.
  • In this course, the student will be able to understand the various topics and terminologies used in Foundation Engineering.
