ENGRG3102 Geotechnical Engineering 2
This is an intermediate level unit in geotechnical engineering where more in depth knowledge in this field is introduced and basic foundation design skills are excelled. The topics covered include, geotechnical site investigation practices, an introduction to AS2870 Residential Slabs & Footings, analysis and design of shallow foundations, analysis and design of deep foundations, and analysis of slope stability and design of retaining structures. By the end of this unit, students should be capable of preparing a small-scale site investigation program, classifying residential building sites based on AS2870 and proposing suitable footing systems for residential buildings, design basic shallow and deep foundations under simple loading conditions, as well as analyse soil slope stability and design retaining structures.
