Laterally Loaded and Machine Foundations

This course is mainly designed for geotechnical engineers which is one of the branch of civil engineering division. After completing this course students will be able to gain knowledge about laterally loaded structures such as retaining wall, Sheet pile, Caissons, Cofferdams, Slurry trench wall, dewatering, liquefaction and machine foundation (effect of vibration on soil, natural frequency, effect of embedment, shear modulus and elastic constant). This will help them to be more skilled in foundation engineering.
