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.
Commonwealth Supported Place (CSP) unit fee
A Commonwealth Supported Place (CSP) is one that is subsidised by the Australian Government, which means students only pay the student contribution amount of the tuition fee. CSPs are only available to eligible domestic students.
The student contribution amount depends on the unit and how much funding the Government provides. Each unit is classified into a band based on its discipline (which may be different to your overall course discipline).
2025 student contribution amount: $1,164
2025 grandfathered student contribution amount (for students who commenced before 1 Jan 2021*): $1,164
* If you are a continuing student (who commenced your course before 1 January 2021) you will continue paying the same amount as you would have, had legislative reforms not been implemented for any units that would otherwise have an increased student contribution amount.
