PRESENTATION

The civil engineering It continues to evolve, and with it, the need to understand the various deep foundation options available. Our course covers everything from the basics to the design and calculation of piles and micropiles, which are key components in civil engineering and building structures. You will learn about the types and analysis of soil resistances, which are essential for the stability and durability of any structure. It also covers construction and inspection procedures, focusing on analytical solutions and practical approaches based on field tests. Choosing this training program means learning about the applications of column piles, floating piles, rock piles, and pile groups, as well as dealing with loads and settlements. Our online content offers a comprehensive overview of selection of piles and Handling unusual situations. Through clear and accessible instruction, our participants will gain the knowledge needed to make informed decisions in geotechnical projects.

Objectives

  • Learning about the different Types of Foundations deep ones currently available on the market.

  • Be able to design and calculate a deep foundation by piling or micropiling for any type of structure in civil engineering and building construction.

  • Understand the enforcement procedures and control of this type of geotechnical works.
