Course Overview
Advanced Foundation Engineering program primarily focuses on the design of shallow foundations on layered soil, on eccentric loading conditions, and under inclined soil. The course will also provide an overview of lateral loading conditions and piles under uplift. These topics are especially useful for engineering students and working professionals as they are not covered in the conventional engineering degree courses.
Advanced Foundation Engineering certification courses will be most beneficial for final-year undergraduate engineering students and postgraduate and doctoral students in their first semester. It will also prove useful for individuals who are preparing for competitive examinations.
Advanced Foundation Engineering is a twelve-week course that uses online lectures, weekly assignments, and a final exam to motivate students to complete the course and gain maximum knowledge out of it. Candidates can achieve a certificate by completing the assignments satisfactorily and scoring higher than the cut-off in the final examination.
