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, then 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.
- Evaluate pore pressures and consolidation to forecast settlements under actual loads.
- Interpret CPT, SPT, and boring data to develop accurate soft 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 foundation design.
