This course explores a cutting-edge technique that enhances drilled shaft performance. Post-grouting has transformed foundation engineering by improving load capacity and efficiency in challenging soil conditions. This course covers the evolution of post-grouted drilled shafts and examines performance improvement mechanisms such as pre-mobilization, ground improvement, tip enlargement, and enhanced side resistance—offering engineers practical solutions for modern foundation challenges.
The course highlights current post-grouting practices, focusing on measurements, monitoring, and quality control during grouting operations. It reviews improvement mechanisms, grouting systems, important grout parameters during post-grouting, potential issues encountered during application, and the latest design method, providing insights into their applications.
Tailored for all professional engineers, this course also benefits builders, architects, project managers, quantity surveyors, QA professionals, academics, and students. Whether you’re starting your career or an experienced professional refreshing your knowledge, this course delivers the tools and insights needed to succeed.
Learning Objectives
Upon completion of this course, participants will be able to:
- Describe the application of post-grouting to drilled shafts.
- Explain performance-improvement mechanisms, including pre-mobilization, ground improvement, tip enlargement, and enhanced side resistance.
- Summarize current post-grouting practices, measurements, and quality-control techniques.
- Apply the current design method for post-grouted drilled shafts to practical applications.
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.
