The "Precast & Advanced Pile Foundations" course adopts a multi-disciplinary approach, covering essential aspects of Geotechnical and Structural Engineering in Foundation design across five modules.
In Module one of the course, Learners will be able to grasp Precast Driven Pile design and construction procedures, with a focus on material and equipment selection. Practical insights from a case study will enhance the learner’s ability to execute designs in real-world scenarios. In Module two of the course, Learners will be able to navigate precast pile construction in pre-bored holes, understanding crucial materials and equipment. In Module three of the course, Learners will be able to explore steel piles and Continuous Flight Auger (CFA) piles. This module equips the learners with knowledge about applications, construction techniques, and design principles for these advanced foundation systems. In Module four of the course, Learners will be able to learn the latest advancements in pile foundations, focusing on spun and helical piles. This includes understanding applications, construction techniques, and design principles, showcasing how technology optimizes contemporary foundation engineering. Target Learners: Undergraduate students of Civil Engineering Post-Graduate Students of Geotechnical Engineering Practicing Engineers in Pile Construction based projects. Faculties of Civil Engineering Domain Prerequisites: Soil Mechanics Foundation Engineering Reinforced Concrete Design Basics of Pile Foundation
