Introduction:
Demand has recently been increased for safe
design of foundations for large-scale structures as
well as mega foundations of grand bridges and high-
rise buildings in geotechnical engineering. To cope
with the fast construction pace, several heavy and
deep foundation types have been widely adopted
with some prescribed design rules. All this requires
a conscious knowledge of pile-excavation
interaction, corner problems, niche problems, pile-
pile interaction problems and soldier pile-soil
interaction problems, amongst others. Most of
above geotechnical analyses are still 2D. Danger
with doing exclusively 2D analyses is that we get
used to, not just doing, but also thinking 2D, which
in some situations, can be dangerous; we may be
stretching our simplifications too far. It is therefore
sometimes, difficult to lay down simple rules-of-
thumb.
This course brings together fundamental concepts,
recent developments as well as some of the Korean
experience in the use of large and deep foundations
amidst increasing demand of infrastructures in India
and other Asian countries. This course is a platform
to present new tools used in the design and
construction of these mega foundations. Design and
construction of large and deep foundation are
essential facets of the construction industry which
link geotechnical related professions with structural
engineers as well as professionals in other areas of
construction. The Asian region has witnessed
tremendous development of infrastructure projects
including construction of mega urban buildings and
structures.
Recent developments have been spurred by the
increasing demand for high capacity deep
foundations and deeper basement and
underground structures particularly in the
congestive urban environment. The owners,
engineers and contractors are paying more
attention to economic design and efficient
construction methods.
Broad objectives:
This course is intended for graduate students and
Civil Engineering professionals who are pursuing
specialties in either geotechnical engineering or
structural engineering. The research scientists and
engineers will have interest in geotechnical analysis
of critical structures including foundations of high-
rise buildings. The course deals with a class of
problems in which the behaviour of both principal
parts of the system (the geo-material and the
structural foundation) must be considered. Several
special soil-structure interaction problems will be
analysed in depth.
The aim of the course is to familiarise the
participants with the most up-to-date developments
in geotechnical engineering construction and
design. The focus shall be on fundamental
concepts, engineering behaviour of soil and rock,
limit state and performance state approach, elastic
and elasto-plastic behaviour, constitutive modelling,
centrifuge modelling, geosynthetic reinforcement,
earthquake geotechnical engineering and
environmental geotechnics. Upon successful
completion of this course, the participants will be
able to gain insight into the advanced methods as
applied to familiar geotechnical problems and the
selection of suitable geotechnical parameters. This
course is especially suited for academicians who
are involved in teaching and research in
engineering colleges and technical universities.
Teaching will be largely by means of lectures and
discussions.
The objective of this course is to familiarize
engineers using finite element and numerical
software with the analysis and design of large and
deep foundations, with reference to the simplified
calculation method for piled raft, so that users
acquire a clear understanding of the strengths and
weaknesses of these methods and use them in a
knowledgeable and competent fashion. The topics
to be covered include:
 Equivalent raft, equivalent pier and PDR
methods of piled raft with design and
application.
 Plasticity and elasto-plastic analysis using FEM,
FDM and DEM.
 Use of advanced soil models such as work-
hardening plasticity and cap models and their
advantages over Mohr-Coulomb.
 The stiffness issue: non-linear stiffness and
what modulus to use.
 Comparison of design and analysis of pile
foundation with commercial codes.
 Current approaches to modelling large and
deep foundations.
