CE 4260 - Deep Foundation and Earth Retaining Structures Design

Institution:

Southern Utah University

Subject:

Civil Engineering

Description:

This course provides advanced analysis and design of deep foundation systems and earth-retaining/excavation support structures, with emphasis on professional practice, constructability, and performance-based design. Topics include selection of design soil/rock parameters for deep foundation applications; driven piles and drilled shafts (axial, uplift, and lateral resistance; group effects; downdrag; and load testing/QA/QC); construction considerations for deep foundations (casing, slurry, tremie concrete, and integrity testing); and design of earth-retaining and excavation support systems such as cantilever and anchored walls, braced excavations, sheet piles, soldier pile/lagging, secant/tangent pile walls, mechanically stabilized earth (MSE) walls, and soil nail walls. The course includes an integrated design project involving a deep foundation system and an excavation/retaining system, using applicable codes and current design references.
