Course Description
This course covers the basics for Foundations Engineering or Geotechnical Engineering. It includes such topics as Calculation of Lateral Earth Pressure on Structures, Retaining Walls, Shallow and Deep Foundations. There will be a second part, Part II of the same course Name which would complement this first part and give the students more thorough understanding of Geotechnical Engineering Basics.
This course will quickly review the basics of soil mechanics. It will design shallow foundations. It will also design pile foundation, pile caps, sheet piles and more.
