What will I learn?
Gain hands-on skills in assessing soft clays and dense sands, interpreting key soil properties, and analysing stress, strength, and compressibility. Master pore pressure evaluation, groundwater influences, settlement prediction, and consolidation analysis to confidently choose shallow or deep foundations and ground improvement techniques for practical engineering projects.
Elevify advantages
Develop skills
- Analyse soil index data to estimate density, void ratio, and plasticity swiftly.
- Evaluate pore pressures and consolidation to forecast settlements under actual loads.
- Interpret CPT, SPT, and boring results to develop accurate clay-over-sand profiles.
- Choose shallow, deep, or enhanced foundations with solid justification for soft clays.
- Manage groundwater effects and mitigate high water table risks in designs.
