2 Professional Development Hours

Note

This online course is one in a four-part mini-series on Web Series: Foundation Engineering: From Site Investigation to Design. Topics in this series include:

You can save 20% when enrolling for all four webinars in the series.

After participating in this course, you will be able to:

  • Determine the bearing capacity of different piles
  • Choose a proper pile system for a specific site
  • Estimate the settlement of pile foundations
  • Determine the pile capacity from pile load tests

Description
Pile foundations are generally used when the upper soil stratum is weak and there is a need to transfer the structural loads to deeper and more competent strata. The load-carrying capacity of pile foundations is provided by the toe-bearing capacity and the pile shaft capacity through the interface pile-soil resistance.

This lecture aims to present basic concepts required for the design of pile foundations in different site conditions. Bearing capacity analysis of both single pile and pile groups will be discussed for various types of piles in different soil and rock strata. The pile settlement analysis will also be presented for both single piles and pile groups.

Who Should Attend
Those who deal with construction-related geotechnical engineering issues or need to build background on geotechnical analyses and design, including:

  • Civil, Environmental and Transportation Engineers/Technicians
  • Geologists, city and public works officials/planners
