GEOTECHNICAL PARAMETERS - INFLUENCING FOUNDATION SYSTEMS

This studio dealt with the technical and practical understanding of Geotechnical and Foundation Engineering. On site boring was done and soil samples were collected. Several tests were soon conducted in the laboratory until the soil was classified and bearing capacity parameters were found. Admixture was added in the soil and again several tests related to it were conducted to understand the comparison between virgin soil and additive soil. From the results concluded in the laboratory several foundation systems were designed based on the types of loading assigned.
