Foundation Analysis

All engineered construction resting on the earth must be supported by some kind of interfacing element, called a foundation. It is evident that foundation is the very important part of a civil engineering project. The objective of the Foundation Analysis workshop is to teach students the appropriate approach towards soil foundation analysis used in construction projects.

Foundation Analysis involves concepts from both Structural engineering and Geo technical engineering. The workshop aims to provide working knowledge on the computational analysis methods, Geo technical characteristics of soil, variety of soil foundations necessary for different soil profiles, and all tools and techniques used for soil foundation engineering.

Topics to be covered:
