Soil improvement will be covered. Assessment is by a three hour open book examination and a project. Objectives ‘On completion of this module the students should have a knowledge of the range of foundations available for construction, their analysis, construction and performance and be able to select the appropriate foundation for a particular situation, Skills outcomes Development of report writing and communication skills, IT skills and problem analysis. Syllabus Review of the behaviour of granular and cohesive soil, drained and undrained loading, consolidation and compression characteristics. Action and analysis (ultimate load and movement) of: ~ Shallow foundations - pad, strip and raft - Deep foundations - deep basements = Piles - driven and bored, cast in-situ Construction of foundations and structural form. Foundations for tensile loads. Introduction to the analysis of foundation behaviour using finite elements. Methods of soil improvement, e.g. soil reinforcement, grouting, vibrocompaction. Remedial work on foundations.
