Deep Foundations Course Overview

This document outlines the course content for a one semester deep foundations course at Utah State University. It includes prerequisites, required textbooks, and design considerations. Major topics that will be covered include pile types, static analysis methods, static load testing, instrumentation, load-settlement relationships, wave mechanics, dynamic testing, lateral load analysis, drilled shaft construction and design, and relevant websites. The course will include two field trips - one to observe pile driving and another for drilled shaft construction. Computer software for static analysis, wave equation analysis, and lateral load analysis will be introduced.

 Wave Speed vs. Particle Velocity

 Undrained vs. Drained Shear Strength

 Positive vs. Negative Pore Pressure


Loose / Medium Dense Soil - Setup

Particles densify
Pore pressure goes up and
dissipates w/time = Setup
Particles dilate and
negative pore pressure
goes down and dissipate
w/time = Relaxation
