Introduction<\/h3>\n

Foundation piles are typically required when structural loads need to be transferred into deeper and stiffer soil or rock layers to accommodate adequate load settlement behavior. Piles can also be used for the construction of retention systems or shear keys to stabilize slopes.<\/p>\n

This practical course introduces the most common piling techniques<\/strong> and provide the fundamentals of the geotechnical design and general construction aspects<\/strong> of the most common piling systems. The course focuses on practical aspects<\/strong> and provides a unique perspective on the influence of pile installation effects on pile performance<\/strong>. It also introduces the most common pile verification methods and their reliability.<\/p>\n

Many aspects of the course content are based on the presenter\u2019s practical experience of more than two decades of design and construction of deep foundations.<\/p>\n

Objectives<\/h3>\n

The design and construction of piles as deep foundation elements to provide the safe transfer of structural loads into stiffer soil\/ rock strata is discussed in detail in this course.<\/p>\n

The thorough understanding of the existing ground conditions in combination with in-situ and laboratory testing is necessary to assess suitable design parameters for the project specific pile design. Installation techniques like soil displacement or non-soil displacement methods need to be considered during the selection process of suitable design parameters, too. Installation effects have an impact on the pile performance and hence need to be considered in the pile design.<\/p>\n

This unique course will not only focus on state of practice pile design<\/strong> methods for axial, lateral and the group behaviour of piles embedded in different ground conditions, but also on the specific risks<\/strong> and opportunities<\/strong> for the most common piling techniques around the globe. In addition, suitable verification methods to assess the compliance of the piles with design<\/strong> assumptions and project specifications are introduced.<\/p>\n

The presenter will share his professional and practical \u2018hands-on\u2019 knowledge of two decades of work experience in the field of pile design and construction. This course is designed to help practitioners, designers, researchers and students to gain a fundamental understanding<\/strong> of the most important aspects and concepts of the design, performance criteria, installation effects and construction risks as well as verification methods of the most common piling techniques around the globe.<\/p>\n

This course is designed to provide a holistic understanding of the life cycle of a deep foundation project<\/strong> and importance to understand the dependency of design, construction, and verification processes on the final performance. Participants will gain an understanding of:<\/p>\n

    \n
  • Introduction of the life cycle of a typical piling project<\/li>\n
  • What ground investigation, in-situ or laboratory testing methods are recommended for reliable pile designs<\/li>\n
  • Discussion about the major risks and their mitigation related to pile design and construction<\/li>\n
  • Design principles of single piles for axial and lateral loading and the design and construction of rock sockets<\/li>\n
  • Discussion of risks specific to certain piling methodologies (e.g. bored piles, driven piles, helical piles, etc.)<\/li>\n
  • Pile verification methods, what data they provide and what limitations should be considered<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n
