🔹 Week 5: Deep Foundation Design

  • Objectives:

    • Understand principles of pile and pier foundations.

    • Design deep foundations under axial and lateral loads.

  • Topics Covered:

    • Classification of piles: driven, bored, CFA, micropiles.

    • Load transfer mechanisms (skin friction & end bearing).

    • Negative skin friction and group effects.

    • Pile load testing methods.

    • Pile design examples (manual + software-assisted).
