Drilled shafts play a critical role in foundation engineering, providing reliable support in varied soils. This course focuses on the axial load design of drilled shafts, emphasizing Load and Resistance Factor Design (LRFD) principles, including load combinations, limit states, and resistance factors. Participants will gain a clear understanding of the theoretical framework and practical methods required for effective foundation design.
Covering the entire design process, the course offers a step-by-step approach to evaluating side and base resistances in cohesionless and cohesive soils, as well as approaches for addressing uplift forces. With a focus on industry standards, attendees will acquire tools to tackle design challenges and optimize their design.
This course blends core concepts with real-world applications, making it an essential resource for anyone involved in deep foundation design and construction.
