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