| Back to Top | | | | | The purpose of this course is to present modern techniques for the design, installation, and verification of deep foundations. Over the past twenty years major changes have occurred in the deep foundations industry. New improved methods have been developed for installing large diameter drilled shafts, increased loads are being used, and new quality control procedures have been developed. For driven piles, higher loads can be achieved with new hammers, dynamic quality control methods have been adopted, wave equation analysis is being widely used, and higher strength materials are becoming common. Auger-cast piles are being used with increasing frequency. New design and specifications have been adopted in many codes and specifications. This course will present modern design procedures for deep foundations including discussions on new developments. | Back to Top | | | | | - Find out the latest subsurface investigation methods for deep foundation design
- Understand the design process for deep foundations
- Learn the new standards and procedures for the design and installation of deep foundations
- Learn the use of wave equation analysis as applied to both the design and installation of driven piles including driving problems
- Understand the various capacity determination methods including both static and dynamic methods
| Back to Top | | | | | Geotechnical engineers, construction engineers, contractors, owners, structural engineers, or any professional involved in the design, construction, inspection, testing, and specification of deep foundations (driven piles, cast-in-place piles, or drilled shafts). | Back to Top | | | | | Each attendee will receive: - FHWA’s comprehensive manuals
