Grouping, Testing & Quality Control of Pile Foundations

This course encompasses crucial aspects of Pile Grouping, Testing & Quality Control, particularly focusing on pile testing, quality control and addressing execution challenges across four informative modules. In Module one of the course, the learners will explore pile group settlement and its connection to soil properties. Also, skills for assessing pile group capacity and predicting settlement in different soil types will be gained. Transitioning to Module two, learners will acquire knowledge about various pile testing methods and how to practically apply them, validating theoretical designs. In Module three, learners will understand the importance of maintaining quality assurance and quality control in piling works. Learners will also acquire the skills needed to ensure Environment, Health & Safety operations on-site. This course empowers learners in Module four to recognize the critical role of bill of quantities in pile foundations. Understand challenges during pile execution and discover effective remedies. Additionally, gain insights into using software for pile foundation analysis, specifically focusing on mastering PLAXIS 3D.
