Course Outline - CEng 3204 - Foundation Engineering I - 2020 PDF

This document outlines the course for Foundation Engineering I, which covers topics like site exploration, types of foundations and their selection, design of shallow foundations, and analysis and design of retaining walls. Site exploration involves planning investigations, testing methods like boring and sampling, and producing a soil report. Design of shallow foundations includes bearing capacity, settlement, isolation and combined footings, strap and cantilevered footings, and mat foundations. Retaining wall design considers types of walls, proportions, forces, and design. References include books on reinforced concrete, geotechnical, and foundation engineering.
