Advanced foundation design and analysis covers the analysis and design of shallow foundations under combined loading, pile foundations under vertical, lateral loading and combined loading as well as ground movement. This topic also covers the analysis of piles used to increase slope stability, foundations in rocks and intermediate geomaterials, foundations on expansive soils and collapsible soils. The topic will require students to carry out analysis and design of foundations for infrastructure using physical modelling, analytical and numerical methods through project based learning.
