Learning Method: The PDDP program is more of a self-guided learning style. You are required to read the notes and materials given, complete the follow-up assignments on your own, send in your questions prior to your 1 hour webinar meeting (if required) and be involved in live discussion via the internet. Once you have completed the course, you will receive a certificate of completion
Course Description: Pile foundations are the part of a structure used to carry
and transfer the load of the structure to the bearing ground located at some
depth below ground surface. The main components of the foundation are the pile
cap and the piles. Piles are long and slender members which transfer the load
to deeper soil or rock of high bearing capacity avoiding shallow soil of low
bearing capacity. Depending upon type of soil, pile material and load
transmitting characteristic piles are classified accordingly. In this workshop
participants will learn about, classifications, functions and pros and cons of
piles design and construction.
This course provides participants with specific technical guidance on aspects
of designing, installing, and the construction of piled
foundations.
The course addresses subsurface investigation, pile selection, economic
analysis, static design analysis (single pile and pile group behavior under
compression, tension and lateral loading, pile settlement, negative skin
friction), dynamic driving formulas, wave equation analysis, dynamic testing),
static methods of pile load testing. Application and interpretation of the wave
equation and dynamic and static pile-load-testing methods are highlighted with
an emphasis on the practical issues related to pile monitoring and acceptance
on typical construction projects. Construction material includes pile capacity
verification by formula; wave equation; dynamic test or static test;
performance and interpretation of compression, tension, and lateral load test;
load testing devices; the Osterberg Cell and Statnamic. The PDDP Distance Education program works as follows: You will receive the course notes in hard copy through the online website, you will receive a set of notes each week covering the course material. A one hour video-conference session will be conducted by your instructor each week (if required). The objective of this session is to assist in solving the assignments, as well as answer student questions that should be sent to instructor early enough prior to the meeting time. In addition with being able to communicate with the instructor, you will also be able to communicate with other students in the same class and watch their questions being answered as well. (A high speed internet connection is strongly recommended for this feature). Each set of exercises can be completed and submitted by the indicated date and your completed exercise will be marked online and and returned by your instructor. To gain the most from your course, it is highly recommended that you participate fully in all discussions and exercises. Please remember that each course has a form of quiz or exercise at the end to test your understanding of the material. You will be informed of these dates when you receive the course schedule.
*Course commencement date is subject to instructor availability.
