Course Description
Subsurface exploration sampling/characterization methods and reporting, variability. Lateral
loads (at-rest, active and passive pressures). Earth retaining structures and excavations walls
(gravity/cantilever, mechanically-stabilized, sheet-piled, anchored) braced cuts, dewatering. Per-
formance requirements, applied loads based on codes, and selection of foundations. Shallow
foundation design types (spread, strip, and mat/raft), bearing capacity and settlements (elas-
tic/initial, consolidation, allowable/tolerable), testing and evaluation. Deep foundation design
types (methods, configuration, materials), bearing capacity (axial and lateral) and settlements,
testing and evaluation. Slope stability natural slopes, man-made slopes (excavations and fills).
Ground improvement properties of improved soils (add-mixtures, geotextiles, other mechani-
cal/chemical in-situ techniques).
Effects of dynamic loading and local soil conditions leading to earthquake damage. TRANSFER
FROM SM
Deep foundations. Piles and pile foundations, types of piles, pile foundation design. Types of
sheet pile walls. Single-wall, double-wall and cellular cofferdams. Box open and pneumatic cais-
sons. Underpinning of existing structures.
Course Objective
This course focuses on applications of designing shallow and deep foundations, including
spread/strip footings, mats, driven piles, and drilled shafts, and also on slope stability investiga-
tions of natural and man-made slopes and ground improvement techniques using mechanical and
chemical treatment. Applied loads based on various suggested codes and approaches, foundation
selection and dimensioning, bearing capacity, settlement, group effects, and lateral load capacity
of the various foundation types will be covered with an emphasis on practical aspects and appli-
cations. An essential and important aspect of foundation design is to gain a thorough understand-
ing of the necessary/realistic parameters that may be obtained through in-situ sampling and char-
acterization methods.

Course Learning Outcomes
On successful completion of this course students will be able to:
1. Plan a subsurface exploration, and select appropriate drilling, sampling and field property
measurement tools for different soil profiles [B6]
2. Evaluate laboratory and field data to select appropriate shear strength values to use in
foundation analysis [B5]
3. Create an idealized soil profile for analysis and design from collected soil properties [B6]
4. Apply shallow and deep bearing capacity and settlement equations for design with appli-
cable correction factors with a consideration of water effects and layering [B2]
Course Assignments
A. Homework and In-Class Activities (25%): There will be multiple homework and in-class ac-
tivies which will be graded. These activities may include quizzes, demonstrations, problem
solving, question-and-answer sessions.
B. Term Project (25%): You will prepare a complete design of an actual foundation for a struc-
ture.
C. Exam I, II & III (30%): There will be two exams during the semester which I will try my best
to give within class hours although many times it is not possible. Date of the exams will be
announced during the semester.
D. Final (20%): There will be a comprehensive final during the final exam weeks starting on
May 09, 2016 running through May 20, 2016. Exact date of the final will be announced by
the university towards the end of the semester.

Make Up Exams
In general, make-up exams for the first three exams during the semester will NOT be offered. If
you have a legitimate reason for missing an exam, then you must arrange to make up the exam
BEFORE the scheduled time of the exam. The only exceptions may be illness or emergency (e.g.,
death in family, a traffic accident, etc.). In case of an illness or emergency you need to supply a
documentation that supports your claim.
