This twoThis two--day workshop is an day workshop is an intensive course on foundation intensive course on foundation design, in particular the design of design, in particular the design of piled foundations. The goal is to piled foundations. The goal is to present geotechnical principles present geotechnical principles pertinent to the design as pertinent to the design as applicable in current engineering applicable in current engineering practices. Particular attention will practices. Particular attention will be given to design for settlement be given to design for settlement and a critical review of piled and a critical review of piled foundation design in current codes foundation design in current codes and manuals, notably the recently and manuals, notably the recently released AASHTO LRFDreleased AASHTO LRFDSpecifications.Specifications.

Basics of Design of Piled Foundations May 16-17, 2007 -- Calgary, AB

On completion of the seminar, the attendee will be able to:• Decide on what to include in a site investigation involving deep foundations.• Decide on what type of test to perform —conventional static, Osterberg Cell, Statnamic, or dynamic; Select suitable location of instrumentation in a test pile and to analyze the results.• Calculate bearing capacity of a pile using total and/or effective stress methods, including back calculation to fit to the results of a test.• Calculate the settlement of a foundation influenced by the fill supported by the foundation as well as due to the effect of adjacent fills, foundations, and excavations.• Be able to interpret and logically apply the foundation requirements in applicable codes.
