• Provide the students with a basic understanding of the essential steps involved in a geotechnical site<br />
investigation<br />
• Introduce to the students, the principal types of foundations and the factors governing the choice of the<br />
most suitable type of foundation for a given solution<br />
• Familiarize the student with the procedures used for : a) bearing capacity estimation, b) end bearing<br />
capacity, c) skin friction<br />
SITE INVESTIGATION AND SELECTION OF FOUNDATIONS<br />
Introduction Objectives of soil exploration Methods of exploration Geophysical methods Borings Penetration<br />
tests (SPT & SCPT) depth of exploration Number and disposition of bore holes sampling and sample<br />
disturbance Selection of foundation based on soil condition.<br />
BEARING CAPACITY<br />
Bearing Capacity Types of failure Terzaghi's formula Skempton's formula BIS formula Effect of water table <br />
Allowable bearing pressure bearing pressure based on SPT value Plate load test Methods of improving bearing<br />
capacity.<br />
