| Objectives of the Course | Teaching of fundamentals of design and practice of pile foundations and multiple rows of anchored walls (sheet pile, diaphragm and piled retaining) are aimed within the scope of this course. The analysis and Essentials of pile foundations and retaining walls by means of contemporary numerical techniques is a priority in this course. |
| Contents of the Course | Analytical and numerical analysis techniques will be taught to the students by the help of sample problem solutions during the course. Besides, essentials of pile foundation and retaining wall projects will be covered with sample project presentations. |
