The detailed syllabus for Geotechnics for Infrastructure M.Tech 2017-2018 (R17) first year first sem is as follows.
M.Tech. I Year I Sem.
Course Objectives: To impart knowledge on site investigation and soil testing methods and design of different types of foundation appropriate to the type of soil for different structures.
Course Outcomes: the learner will be able to design shallow and deep foundations like piles for railway and highway bridges, harbor structures and also sheet piles.
UNIT – I : Site Investigation for Infrastructure Projects: methods of site investigation, types of soil samples and samplers- Geotechnical field testing – SPT, CPT, Plate Load Test, Pile Load Test.
UNIT – II : Shallow Foundations for Railway & Highway Bridges and Port & Harbour Structures: types of foundations, design forces, safe and allowable bearing capacity of shallow foundations, settlement computation;
UNIT – III : Pile Foundations for Railway & Highway Bridges and Port & Harbour Structures: Pile foundations – types, axial and lateral capacity of pile, pile group analysis and pile cap; Introduction to drilled piers, caissons, well foundations.
UNIT – IV : Foundations for Transmission Line, Radar Antenna, Microwave and TV Tower and Chimneys: Introduction, foundations for towers and chimneys, design forces, behaviour of pad and chimney foundations, design of chimney and pad foundations, anchor foundations (rock anchors), design of foundations for towers and chimneys, analysis of raft on pile foundations; design and construction of shallow foundations on rocks.
UNIT – V : Sheet Piles – introduction, types of sheet pile walls, cantilever sheet pile wall, anchored sheet pile
wall, stability analysis of anchored bulkhead by free earth support and fixed earth support method, position of anchorage. Expansive and Collapsible Soil: Difficult soils- loose granular soils, soft clays and shrinkable soils identification, swell and swell pressure.
