Overview
This course is specifically designed for Ohio-licensed engineers to qualify as a "timed and monitored" online course. The course contains an automatic timer that prevents the user from accessing the quiz and earning a certificate of completion until the minimum amount of study time has been met. This achieves the Ohio Board's intent that an online course should be "paced" by the provider. For more information, please see the Ohio state requirements. This course may also be accepted in other states (see the "Board Acceptance" tab above).

In Estimating Soil Settlements: Elastic and Consolidation Settlement Principles for Engineers , you'll learn ...

  • General concepts of Load and Resistance Factor Design (LRFD) for drilled shaft design, including load combinations, limit states, and resistance factors.
  • Overview of the axial load design for drilled shafts.
  • Step-by-step procedures for evaluating axial capacity in cohesionless and cohesive materials.

Drilled shafts play a critical role in foundation engineering, providing reliable support in varied soils. This course focuses on the axial load design of drilled shafts, emphasizing Load and Resistance Factor Design (LRFD) principles, including load combinations, limit states, and resistance factors. Participants will gain a clear understanding of the theoretical framework and practical methods required for effective foundation design.

Covering the entire design process, the course offers a step-by-step approach to evaluating side and base resistances in cohesionless and cohesive soils, as well as approaches for addressing uplift forces. With a focus on industry standards, attendees will acquire tools to tackle design challenges and optimize their design.

This course blends core concepts with real-world applications, making it an essential resource for anyone involved in deep foundation design and construction.

Learning Objectives

Upon completion of this course, participants will be able to:

  • Explain the general LRFD concepts used in drilled-shaft design, including load combinations, limit states, and resistance factors.
  • Outline the axial-load design process for drilled shafts.
  • Apply procedures for evaluating axial capacity in cohesionless and cohesive materials.
  • Calculate side and base resistances for various soil and rock conditions.
  • Describe design approaches for uplift resistance in drilled shafts.

Video on Demand

This course is a recorded version of a live lecture and will be streamed directly to your computer's media player. Our format is generally compatible with media players included with all computers and mobile devices. After watching the video presentation, you will return to your account to take the online quiz. While this is a recording of a live presentation, please note that this recording will not qualify as a "live" or "interactive" continuing education activity in those jurisdictions where it is required.

Certificate of Completion

You will be able to immediately print a certificate of completion after passing a multiple-choice quiz consisting of 10 questions. PDH credits are not awarded until the course is completed and quiz is passed.
