Education @ Your Desk. A Live Webinar Class means that you will attend the class via the web using your computer. There are scheduled breaks for coffee and lunch. You use a microphone, headset, or your phone and are able to interact with the instructor and other students while following notes while watching the presentation slides online just as you would in a live classroom. Notes are posted online. For an extra cost a hard copy can be requested.
The virtual classroom is becoming more and more popular, and we have a lot of experience teaching in this format. The only real difference between a live in-class and live via webinar is where you sit and what you look at. You can learn from the comfort of your own home or office. You pay less for the live webinar format than you would for the in-class format, and you do not have to travel to another city to attend the class. Please contact us at [email protected] for Special Group & Corporate Rates for one or more participants.

Daily Schedule This Webinar is scheduled to begin@8am MST (10am EST) for a duration of three hour. This course is divided into four sessions. Each session will be three hours in duration. The sessions will be held on March 10, 17, 24 & 31, 2024. If you are unable to attend any of the sessions a recording will be made available. Foundation Engineering is an important component of any project. All super-structures are to be supported on well-designed foundations for their safety and subsequent performance. The course imparts the principles of foundation analysis and design. This course provides the participants with the necessary skills to design shallow foundation systems.
This course presents the analysis, design, and constructive aspects of shallow foundations and other typical components of foundations works, such as site investigation, for foundation engineering, also addresses the importance of both the geological and geotechnical aspects of the ground conditions, current limit analysis methods for bearing capacity, and definition of factors of safety. The various settlement analyses and their underlying assumptions and reliability are discussed.
The participants will receive an exercises book which is an interactive teaching tool for the course, enabling participants to be actively involved in the learning experience.
Objective The main objective of this workshop is to enable participants to select the best foundation solution for different types of civil engineering problems. After completing the course participants should be able to design shallow foundations and supervise their construction. The course philosophy is to provide the participants with the information they need to design foundations at the state of the art. The information is supplied in a simple and systematic way, discussing topics where current knowledge is lacking and more understanding is needed.
Participants are expected to learn
-
The definition of capacity of Shallow foundations
-
Analytical methods of shallow foundation design
-
Software application used in design of shallow foundations
-
How to perform a shallow foundation settlement analyses manually and by use of software
-
Methods to accelerate consolidation settlement and stabilize problem soils
-
How to design a shallow foundation system
Target Audience Employees of federal, provincial and municipal governments and engineers responsible for large industrial, commercial or institutional facilities who must deal with different types of foundations. This course will be of interest to a wide range of practicing civil engineers at different stages in their careers. Some familiarization with soil mechanics is desirable but the knowledge is not required at a specialist level. The course will be most beneficial to geotechnical engineers, engineering geologists, foundation designers, project engineers, and highway/bridge engineers who are involved in the design and construction of foundations. While the discussion topics are technical in nature, those who are not engineer will not be overwhelmed because the instruction is kept to an enjoyable and easy-to-understand level.
Materials Required
- Standard engineering calculator with scientific functions
- Laptop for software training (if available)
Special Features The two-day course will consist of a series of lectures and workshops. Worked examples with numerical reference will reinforce the lectures. Case studies which illustrate the full range of problems are a feature of the course. There will be workshops on bearing capacity, shallow foundation design, settlement analysis.
You Will Receive
Full edition of Settle3D software for Settlement and Consolidation Analysis, valid for a limited time.
Learning Outcomes - Recognize that you must first determine the soil profile and the soil properties in order to choose the appropriate foundation type.
- Be able to calculate the estimated settlement and differential settlement of a shallow foundation and determine the bearing capacity.
- Understand how to determine the advantages and disadvantages of a given foundation type.
- Be able to calculate the foundation ultimate capacity.
- Recognize what engineering principles are illustrated by case histories.
- Be able to design a geotechnical field investigation and follow through with design recommendations based on engineering judgment and calculations presented in a written report.
- Recognize the basics of foundation design practice including: settlement prediction, bearing capacity of shallow foundations.
- Be able to approach a foundation design problem as a consultant and determine the prime geotechnical issues, the preferred investigative approach and design alternatives.
