Foundation Engineering (Part 1) | Online course | RCC-STR-003

Foundation is one of the most critical components of any structure, as it transfers loads from the superstructure to the underlying soil. However, foundation failures remain a common cause of structural failures due to the inherent uncertainties associated with soil behaviour. In addition to geotechnical complexities, software applications for foundation design also play a vital role. Modern tools such as SAFE and STAAD Foundation Advanced, based on the finite element method (FEM), have become essential in foundation engineering. Therefore, understanding their working methodologies and limitations is crucial for ensuring safe and efficient designs. Another key aspect of foundation design is the interface between geotechnical and structural engineers. A strong collaboration between these disciplines can significantly enhance the quality of foundation solutions.

We have received numerous queries regarding a specialized course on foundations. In response, we are pleased to announce RCC-STR-003: Foundation Engineering (Part 1), commencing on 20-FEB-25. This course aims to address the critical aspects of foundation design, bridging the gap between software applications and fundamental engineering principles.

What to Expect in the Course?

1. Finite Element Analysis of FoundationsIntroduction to foundation design using SAFE and STAAD Foundation AdvancedComparative analysis of results from both software against manual calculations
2. Understanding the Geotechnical-Structural InterfaceThe importance of collaboration between geotechnical and structural engineersOverview of key IS codes related to geotechnical engineering
3. Foundation Design Using SAFE (as per IS 456:2000)Hands-on design exercises and interpretation of resultsIf requested by participants, foundation design in STAAD Foundation Advanced as per ACI 318 will also be covered
4. Case StudiesIsolated foundations, Combined foundations, Octagonal foundation for tall vertical vessels (Oil & Gas industry), Foundations for cantilever retaining walls, Foundations for transmission line towers, Annular raft foundations for chimneys, Raft foundations for tall buildings, etc.
5. Enhancing the Quality of Geotechnical InvestigationsDiscussion on critical areas that can improve the accuracy and reliability of soil investigations

By the end of this course, participants will not only gain a deep understanding of foundation design methodologies but will also be equipped to develop in-house design procedures, checklists, and best practices for their organizations.

A detailed session-wise breakdown is provided in the course brochure.

Join us in this journey to master foundation engineering with practical insights and industry-relevant knowledge!

WHAT IS UNIQUE ABOUT THIS COURSE?

• The course is designed by the experienced engineer (Mr. Bhavin Shah) who has more than two decades of experience in the field of structural engineering.
• The entire course is designed from the practical aspects which can be readily used in the real projects.
• The course is designed to have an interactive mode so that the problems / doubts of the participants can be addressed effectively.
• A WhatsApp group will be created for quick communication between the participants and the faculty. The participants will be able to share the discussion points, doubts, queries, etc. in the group. The details in the group will be collated for further discussion in the next session.
• All the sessions will be recorded and recording of each session will be shared within few hours. If someone miss out the live session then he/she can go through the recording before attending the next session. After going through the recording, the participants can share their doubts/queries in the WhatsApp group, which will be addressed in the next session.
• If desired, participant can also opt for self-paced learning.
• Recording will be available with all the participants for 180 days. Additional six months of access can be purchased with only 10% of total fees.
• Certificate for participation will be issued on successful completion of the online course (to avail the certificate, it is mandatory to submit the assignments as per schedule).
• The course is designed as a process of learning together.
