ST4011 Advanced Design of Foundation Structures Syllabus:
ST4011 Advanced Design of Foundation Structures Syllabus – Anna University PG Syllabus Regulation 2021
OBJECTIVE:
To design various types of foundations to fulfill the required criteria.
UNIT I SHALLOW FOUNDATIONS
Soil investigation – Types of foundations and their specific applications – depth of foundation – bearing capacity and settlement estimates – structural design of isolated, strip, rectangular and trapezoidal and combined footings – strap – raft foundation.
UNIT II PILE FOUNDATIONS
Types of Pile foundations and their applications – Load Carrying capacity – pile load test – Settlements – Group action – pile cap – structural design of piles and pile caps – undreamed pile foundation.
UNIT III WELL FOUNDATION
Types of well foundations – grip length – load carrying capacity – construction of wells – failure and remedies – structural design of well foundation – lateral stability.
UNIT IV MACHINE FOUNDATIONS
Types – General requirements and design criteria – General analysis of machine foundations-soil system – Stiffness and damping parameters – Tests for design parameters – design of foundation for reciprocating engines, impact type machines and rotary type machines.
UNIT V SPECIAL FOUNDATIONS
General requirements and design criteria – Foundations for towers, Chimneys and Silos – design of anchors
