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 analysis of pore pressures, groundwater influences, settlement, and consolidation, then 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 pressure and consolidation to forecast settlement under actual loads.
- Interpret CPT, SPT, and boring results to develop accurate soft clay over sand profiles.
- Choose shallow, deep, or enhanced foundations with solid justification for soft clays.
- Evaluate groundwater effects to mitigate high water table risks in foundation design.
