Course Content
Deep foundations: pile foundations, design of piled foundations, types and lengths of piles, examples. Design of pile foundation and pile foundation groups: use of pile foundations, pile foundation types and pile foundation groups, pile foundation properties of pile foundations, pile foundation design, examples, pile foundation principles. Fundamentals of mechanism: types of foundations with mechanisms, rules and design principles to be followed in the construction of mechanism foundations, dynamic loads, solution methods. Structural design of foundations: structural design, insulated foundation feet, wall-type foundation feet, assembled foundation feet, basic base feet, girder foundations, circular and ring-shaped basic feet, basic principles of structural feet, examples of structural design.
Objectives of the Course
The determination of deep foundation types in the relationship between structure and ground, the foundation of the piled foundations and their interaction with the ground floor are very important in the design process. The fact that the basic design was made without the necessary concepts and information after the earthquakes once again revealed the importance of the subject. To determine the basic type required according to the needs of the building and to make the calculation.
