15. Pre-requisite qualifications:
Soil Mechanics
16. Course objectives:
The purpose of the course is to learn the site investigation techniques, recognition the subsurface conditions and designing
a pad foundation based on ultimate and serviceability limit states (bearing capacity and settlement calculations). Dewatering
and groundwater control is also discussed. Laboratory testing of mechanical soil properties and RC pad foundation design
are the practical aspects of the course in the 4th semester.
