Course Name: Advanced Foundation Engineering

Course abstract

The course will focus on the design of shallow foundation on sloping ground, layered soil and under inclined & eccentric loading conditions. Piles under uplift and lateral loading conditions will also be discussed. In the undergraduate core course on Foundation Engineering, these topics are either not covered or discussed in simplified form. In the proposed course, these advanced topics will be discussed in detail. This course is useful for both UG and PG student. The course is also suitable for students who are preparing for competitive examination. Field Engineers can be benefited from this course as the design of foundations under critical conditions (those are not generally covered in UG core foundation engineering course) will be discussed here.
