COURSE OUTCOMES At the end of the course, students will be able to CO1: Select a suitable foundation and evaluate bearing capacity and settlement. CO2: Carry out structural design of shallow and special foundations. CO3: Suggest suitable measures for expansive and difficult soils. UNIT I Introduction (09) Developments – Need of foundation Engineering – Responsibility of foundation engineer – Shallow and deep foundations – Classification – Requirements of good foundations – Additional consideration– Selection of type of foundation – Hostile environment – Structural integrity – Economy. UNIT II Bearing Capacity (09) Introduction – Criteria for computing Bearing Capacity – Theoretical methods – Terzaghi’s formula – Meyerhoff’s method – Vesic’s approach – Effect of compressibility of soil, water table, shape and width of foundation, inclination of load, eccentricity of load, layered soils – Hard rocks – Allowable bearing pressure – Evaluation of bearing capacity from in-situ tests – I.S. code provisions. UNIT III Settlement Evaluation (09) Introduction – Immediate and time dependant settlement – Causes of settlement – Prediction of settlement – Minimizing settlement –Tolerable and allowable settlement – layered soils-stress path method – Evaluation from in-situ tests – Differential settlement – Causes and effects – Factors influencing – I.S. Code provisions – Special considerations for expansive and collapsible soils. UNIT IV Design of Foundations (09) Analysis of foundation – Isolated – Strip – Combined footings and mat foundations. Conventional – Elastic approach – Soil Structure Interaction Principles – Application design of shallow foundations – Limit state method – Codal recommendations – Software applications. UNIT V Special Foundations (09) Introduction to special foundations – Floating foundation – Foundation in expansive soils – Foundation on recent refuse fills – Design of foundation for seismic forces – Foundation design in relation to ground movement – Foundations on reclaimed soils – Codal recommendations.
