| Bearing Capacity for shallow foundations: Definitions – Ultimate net allowable bearing capacity – Total and net bearing capacity – Soil-foundation interaction – Bearing capacity equations – Bearing capacity based on field tests (Standard Penetration – Static and dynamic cone penetration – Plate Loading). Settlement of shallow foundations: Instantaneous settlement – Long-term settlement – Total and relative settlement – Allowable settlement. Shallow foundation design: Types of footings: isolated, strip, combined and tied – Foundation depth – bearing capacity – Structural design (Working and ultimate stress) – Construction. Laboratory test program: Consolidation tests – Tri-axial test. Foundation construction: Excavation methods – Equipments – Excavation stability – Design of strutting systems – Site dewatering – Foundation protection – Under-water construction. Retaining Structures: Types – Principals of design and constructing gravity walls – Sheet piles – Diaphragm walls – Reinforced soil – Bridge piers and supports. Pile Foundations: classification – construction materials and methods – Equipments – behavior of piles under load – Single pile capacity – Negative skin friction – Uplift-resisting piles – Dynamic equations for pile capacity – Pile loading tests – Behavior of pile groups – Pile cap design |
