Site investigation; foundation bearing capacity and settlement; design of spread and combined footings; lateral earth pressures; retaining wall design; slope stability analysis; pile foundations. Textbook: Braja M. Das, Principles of Foundation Engineering, Sixth Edition, 2007. () 6 References: Donald, P. Coduto, Foundation Design Principles and Practices, Second Edition. Bowles, Foundation Analysis and Design Prerequisites by Topics: 1. Knowledge in soil mechanics especially shear strength of soil 2. Working knowledge in mechanics of materials is essential. This includes Statics and Strength of materials. Course Objectives: Broad Objectives 1. Students will learn how to design shallow and deep foundations, retaining walls, and slopes. 2. Students will learn how to utilize their knowledge in soil mechanics to perform various types of engineering calculations. This includes consolidation analysis for foundations, and stability analysis of slopes and retaining walls. Learning Outcomes 1. Students will be able to design and analyze a variety of geotechnical engineering 1

structures including foundations, piles, retaining walls, geosynthetic-reinforced soil structures, and slopes. 2. Students learn how to interact professionally among themselves during their assigned design projects where they will be divided into teams. 3. Students are responsible for submitting professionally-written reports for their design projects. 4. Students will present their projects to the class (1015 minutes presentations). Topics Covered: Review 1. Soil Properties and soil classification 2. Compaction 3. Stress analysis 4. Consolidation 5. Shear strength Topics 1. 2. 3. 4. Shallow foundations Mat foundation Lateral earth pressure and retaining wall Sheet piles
5. Piles in sand 6. Piles in clay 7. Slope stability Projects 1. Project 1: Design of a spread footing 2. Project 2: Design of a retaining wall 3. Project 3: Design of piles Contribution of Course to Meeting the Professional Component: Students will learn how to utilize the soil mechanics knowledge they acquired in the Soil Mechanics course to perform various types of engineering calculations. This includes consolidation analysis for foundations and stability analysis of slopes and retaining walls. They will learn the basics of foundation engineering in this course. This includes the design of shallow and deep foundations, retaining walls, and slopes. Relationship to Program Objectives: 1. Students use simple mathematics to derive relationships among soil properties. They use elementary partial differential equations to solve simple boundary-value flow and consolidation problems. Soil Mechanics, Statics, and Strength of Materials are heavily 2

utilized in this course. 2. Students solve problems related to the theoretical part of this course. 3. Design of shallow and deep foundations, retaining walls, geosynthetic-reinforced soil structures, and design of slopes will be dealt with throughout this course. 4. Projects include written reports and oral presentations. 5. Students who have a special interest in geotechnical engineering can pursue a higher degree in CE with emphasis on geotechnical engineering. They also can pursue a career in geotechnical engineering. 6. Occasionally, students will be assigned projects that will require teamwork. Methods of Assessment: Graded Projects Graded Examinations Instructor Judgment Mid term, Final Examinations Desirable Student Competencies: Ability to work in team settings Ability to prepare professional reports for design projects Ability to use computers and some computer graphics
