COURSE TITLE: GEOTECHNICAL ENGINEERING 2
(Foundation Engineering)
COURSE CODE: CE -17/CE -17D
TIME/DAYS : 1:00 - 2:30/2:30 – 4:O0/MTh
ROOM : SML
COURSE DESCRIPTION:
The introductory part of this course deals with the
some fundamentals of geotechnical engineering that
includes compressibility of soil, shear strength of soils,
triaxial tests of soils, settlement, lateral earth pressure,
soil bearing capacity, slope stability, and earth retaining
structures.
The second part of this course deals with the design
of reinforced concrete footings such as wall footing,
square isolated footing (subject to axial load, and to
axial load and bending moment), rectangular footing
(isolated and combined), trapezoid footing, footing on
piles, and strap footing.
COURSE OUTLINE:
CHAPTER 1 : COMPRESSIBILITY OF SOILS
➢ Immediate Settlement
➢ Settlement due to primary consolidation of soil
(for normally consolidated soil and
overconsolidated clays),
➢ Compression Index (Cc) and Swell index (Cs)
➢ Secondary Consolidation settlement
CHAPTER 2 : SHEAR STRENGTH OF SOILS
➢ Mohr Coulomb Failure Criterion
➢ Inclination of the failure plane caused by shear
➢ Direct shear test (normally consolidated and
overconsolidated clays).
CHAPTER 3 : TRIAXIAL TESTS OF SOIL
➢ Consolidated-Drained triaxial test.
➢ Consolidated-Undrained Triaxial Test
➢ Unconsolidated – Undrained Triaxial Test
➢ Unconfined Compression Test
➢ Stress Path
CHAPTER 4 : SOIL BEARING CAPACITY AND SETTLEMENT
ANALYSIS
➢ Terzaghi’s Bearing Capacity, Factor of Safety
➢ Modification due to effect of Water Table
➢ General Bearing Capacity Equation (Meyerof’s
bearing capacity factors)
➢ Vertical Stress Increase due to foundation load
• Point Load, Line load, uniformly
loaded circular and rectangular area
CHAPTER 5: FOUNDATION STRUCTURES
(SHALLOW FOUNDATIONS)
➢ DESIGN OF REINFORCED CONCRETE FOOTING:
• Wall footing.
• Square isolated footing subjected to axial
load, and axial load and bending moment.
• Rectangular isolated footing.
• Footing on piles.
• Rectangular combined footing.
• Trapezoidal footing.
• Strap footing.
CHAPTER 6 : LATERAL EARTH PRESSURE
➢ At – rest Lateral Earth pressure
➢ Rankine’s Theory of Active and Passive Earth
Pressure
➢ Coulumb’s Theory of Active and Passive Earth
Pressure
➢ Lateral earth pressure – Curved Failure Surface
CHAPTER 7 : SLOPE STABILITY
➢ Factor of Safety
➢ Stability of infinite slopes
➢ Stability of finite slopes
CHAPTER 8 : RETAINING WALLS
➢ Gravity and Cantilever walls
• Proportioning Retaining walls
• Stability of Retaining walls
(Overturning, sliding and bearing
capacity failure)
CHAPTER 9 : SHEET PILE WALLS
➢ Cantilever Sheet pile wall
➢ Anchored sheet pile walls
CHAPTER 10 : BRACED CUTS
➢ Pressure envelope for braced cut design
➢ Pressure envelope for cuts in layered soil

CHAPTER 11 : PILE FOUNDATIONS
➢ Types of piles and its structural characteristics
➢ Estimating pile capacity Qp and Qs
➢ Elastic settlement of piles
➢ Negative skin friction
➢ Pile Group
