Deep Foundation Design, Construction and Testing with Related Case Histories
1.8 CEUs / 18 PDHs
Description Over the past twenty-five years, major changes have occurred in the deep foundations industry. New improved methods have been developed for installing all types of deep foundations, increased loads are being used and new quality control procedures have been developed. For driven piles, higher loads are being achieved with new hammers, dynamic quality control methods have been adopted, wave equation analysis is being widely used, and higher strength materials are becoming common. Auger-cast piles are being used with increasing frequency, high capacity drilled shafts are being utilized more frequently and new design and specifications have been adopted in many codes and specifications. This course presents modern design procedures for deep foundations and discusses latest developments. Practicing professionals Objective To provide the understanding of the fundamentals of the design process for deep foundations To provide adequate knowledge in the proper selection of a deep foundation system To present modern techniques for the design, installation, and verification of deep foundations. Who Should Attend Consulting engineers, geo-technical engineers, civil and structural engineers, project managers and construction engineers, contractors, and any technical professional involved in the design, construction, inspection, testing and specification of deep foundations (driven piles, cast-in-place piles, or drilled shafts).

Foundation Design
1.8 CEUs / 18 PDHs
Description This course deals with all aspects of modern good practice in foundation design. These include: the importance of both the geological and geotechnical aspects of the ground conditions, current limit analysis methods for bearing capacity, and definition of factors of safety. The various settlement analyses and their underlying assumptions and reliability are discussed. A thorough treatment of the design of deep foundations is provided to include: capacity of deep foundations, axial capacity calculation of driven piles, pile driving methods and testing, calculating the axial capacity of drilled shafts, construction methods for drilled shafts, pile/shaft response to lateral load, pile/shaft group behaviour, and designing a deep foundation system. Objective To provide participants with adequate knowledge so that they can select the suitable shallow or deep foundation as well as design it. Who Should Attend Structural, civil and geotechnical engineers, consulting engineers, technicians and technologists, public works and construction department employees of federal, provincial and municipal governments and engineers responsible for large industrial, commercial or institutional facilities who must deal with different types of foundations, and foundation construction contractors. The course is of interest to a wide range of practicing civil engineers at different stages in their careers.
