Goal
The main objective of this course is to enable students to be able to design deep and
shallow foundations and supervise their construction at the state of the art.

Students will
be able to
Students finishing this course should be able to perform analysis and design of best
foundation system, to think critically for the selection of correct soil parameters for the
foundation design, and to justify his answers using engineering terminology.
