What will I learn?
Gain essential skills in soil mechanics to assess soft clays and dense sands, interpret key properties, and analyse stress, strength, and compressibility. Master pore pressure analysis, groundwater influences, settlement prediction, and consolidation to confidently choose shallow or deep foundations and ground improvement techniques for practical engineering projects.
Elevify advantages
Develop skills
- Analyse soil index properties to estimate density, void ratio, and plasticity swiftly.
- Predict settlements by evaluating pore pressures and consolidation under actual loads.
- Interpret CPT, SPT, and boring data to develop accurate clay-over-sand soil profiles.
- Choose and justify shallow, deep, or enhanced foundations for soft clay conditions.
- Manage groundwater effects and mitigate risks from high water tables in designs.
