Foundation Engineering Syllabus for B.Tech 5th sem is covered here. This gives the details about credits, number of hours and other details along with reference books for the course.
The detailed syllabus for Foundation Engineering B.Tech (R13) fifthsem is as follows
OBJECTIVES:
To impart knowledge on common method of sub soil investigation and design of
foundation. At the end of this course student acquires the capacity to investigate the soil condition and to select and design a suitable foundation.
UNIT I : SITE INVESTIGATION AND SELECTION OF FOUNDATION [9 hours]
Scope and objectives – Methods of exploration – auguring and boring – Wash boring and rotary drilling – Depth of boring – Spacing of bore hole – Sampling techniques – Representative and undisturbed sampling – methods – Split spoon sampler, Thin wall sampler, Stationery piston sampler – Penetration tests (SPT and SCPT) – Bore log report – Data interpretation – strength parameters and Liquefaction potential – Selection of foundation based on soil condition.
UNIT II : SHALLOW FOUNDATION [9 hours]
Introduction – Location and depth of foundation – Codal provisions – bearing capacity of shallow foundation on homogeneous deposits – Terzaghi’s formula and BIS formula – factors affecting bearing capacity – problems – Bearing capacity from in-situ tests (SPT, SCPT and plate load)Allowable bearing pressure – Seismic considerations in bearing capacity evaluation. Determination of Settlement of foundations on granular and clay deposits – Total and differential
settlement – Allowable settlements – Codal provision – Methods of minimizing total and differential settlements.
UNIT III : FOOTINGS AND RAFTS [9 hours]
Types of footings – Contact pressure distribution: Isolated footing – Combined footings – Types and proportioning – Mat foundation – Types and applications – Proportioning – Floating foundation – Seismic force consideration – Codal Provision.
