Course Aims

The main principle in foundation engineering is to support the building on shallow foundations, especially on single square footings. The existing soil at a construction site may not always be totaly suitable for supporting structures on single footings in such a condition. If it is not possible to use single footings, one can use mat foundations. In Turkey, engineers prefer to construct buildings on deep foundations when the building loads are high. But, shallow foundations on improved site may stil offer cheaper way. Today, with the common ground is met problematic. On the ground floor of this building before stabilization is required.

Course Goals

Learning Outcomes of The Course Unit

1) Ability to decide if soil improvement is necessary or not
2) Ability to choosing the right soil improvement technique and decide about the applicability
3) Ability to design stone columns and jet-grouting

Course Contents

Work Placements

As with any other educational component, credits for work placements are only awarded when the learning outcomes have been achieved and assessed. If a work placement is part of organised mobility (such as Farabi and Erasmus), the Learning Agreement for the placement should indicate the number of credits to be awarded if the expected learning outcomes are achieved.
