Piled Foundations Design Workshop 2014

Key Topics

• Design soil parameters for pile foundation design (laboratory tests and subsurface exploration procedures)
• The design and construction of pile foundations
• Methods of pile foundation design in application subsurface conditions
• Pile types and soil profiles
• Soil strength changes in pile foundation design and construction control
• Group and single capacities of piles to tension, resist compression and lateral loads
• Allowable stress design and load and resistance factor design methods
• Pile refusal, pile driveability, minimum and estimated pile toe elevations
• Consolidation settlement of piled foundations on cohesive soils and cohesionless soils

The Piled Foundations Design Workshop 2014 is suitable for bridge designers, geotechnical engineers, designer, field or laboratory personnel with a background in engineering, consultant review specialists and resident engineers who have passed an undergraduate course in soil mechanics or a GIC course on Soils Engineering.
