Foundation engineering
Branch of civil engineering concerned withlinking structures to the Earth.
Foundation engineers must model soil
behaviour. This requires specialist knowledge:opportunities for varied work and individualcontribution. Non-routine.
Key area of offshore engineering. Oil,gas,wind, tidal energy reserves requireoffshore foundation structures.

Aims
To extend the knowledge and understanding
of soil behaviour obtained from
undergraduate level to the application of a
range of foundation design problems.

Aims....
Having successfully completed the module, youwill be able to demonstrate an understanding andknowledge sufficient to be able to:
distinguish between different foundation typesand their appropriate use
be able to design shallow and deep foundationsto carry ultimate loads
be able to estimate deformations under workingconditions
understand the impact of intrusive investigationtechniques on soil parameter determination
7/31/2019 01 - Introduction Presentation
5/34
Aims ....
be able to select appropriate soil parameters
from site investigation data
have an appreciation of the advantages and
limitations of advanced analytical techniques

Case for foundation design
What are the applied loads, V, H,M?
What are the relevant soil (and
groundwater) properties? Will the foundation fail under the
worst plausible loading (ULS)?
Will unacceptable settlementsoccur under the service load(SLS)?
