Basics of Foundation Engineering with Solved Problems

Basics of Foundation Engineering with Solved Problems Prepared By: Ahmed S. Al-Agha September -2015 Based on Principles of Foundation Engineering , 7th Edition Being rich is not about how much you have, but is about how much you can give Chapter (2) Subsoil Exploration Page (1) Foundation Engineering Subsoil Exploration Ahmed S. Al-Agha Introduction: The soil mechanics course reviewed the fundamental properties of soils and their behavior under stress and strain in idealized conditions. In practice, natural soil deposits are not homogeneous, elastic, or isotropic. In some places, the stratification of soil deposits even may change greatly within a horizontal distance of 15 to 30 m. For Foundation design and construction work, one must know the actual soil stratification at a given site, the laboratory test results of the soil samples obtained from various depths, and the observations made during the construction of other structures built under similar conditions.

1. Determining the nature of soil at the site and its stratification. 2. Selecting the type and depth of foundation suitable for a given structure. 3. Evaluating the load-bearing capacity of the foundation. 4. Estimating the probable settlement of a structure. 5. Determining
