Program Description
This course has a systematic and concise treatment to geological and geotechnical aspects of deep excavations and deep foundations. Construction methodologies like top down and bottom up techniques, Drill and blast, cut and cover, box pushing, NATM and NMT for deep excavations and tunnels Instrumentation monitoring of underground construction are explained with illustrations and case studies. Support systems like sheet piles, soldier piles, secant piles, contiguous piles and diaphragm walls for deep excavations are dealt in detail. The materials, equipment, workmanship, EHS, quality and design considerations for deep foundations such as the Piles, caissons, wells and coffer dam systems are elaborated. The usage of software tools like Plaxis, Roc lab and Wallap for modelling piles and excavation support systems are demonstrated.
