Welcome to the Pile Foundation Course, a comprehensive exploration of essential concepts and practical applications in pile foundation engineering. In Module 1, learners will establish a foundational understanding of pile foundations, delving into the intricacies of design and construction aligned with relevant building codes and standards. Moving forward, Module 2 focuses on BCIS (Bored Cast In Situ) piles, empowering learners to design these piles on diverse substrates, including rock formations. Module 3 provides a thorough overview of construction procedures for Precast Driven piles, emphasizing material selection and equipment usage for practical design applications. In Module 4, learners gain insights into the design prerequisites and construction procedures for under-reamed piles. The course culminates in Module 5, where learners explore pile groups, settlement in piles based on soil properties, and the practical aspects of validating theoretical designs through empirical testing methods. Join us on this educational journey to master the intricacies of pile foundation engineering.
