Foundation Analysis

India is host to a whole world of buildings and monuments that are more than 1000 years old! Be it an earthquake, a tsunami, tremors or accidents – the old pillars have stood strong and tight. The QutubMinar has withstood multiple earthquakes throughout its history, so has the Taj. Not just this, there are several examples of structures that have stood the test of time all over the world. It is any civil engineer’s dream to see their structure stand tall and with proper design and analysis it is possible to make buildings extremely strong with its robust “Foundation”. With this in mind we presents this workshop on “Foundation Analysis and Design”. It is evident that foundation is the very important part of a civil engineering project. The objective of the Foundation Analysis workshop is to teach students the appropriate approach towards soil foundation analysis used in construction projects. 

Empower yourself, design a structure and see results in real time.

Workshop Highlights

• Learning about various kinds of foundations
• Interpreting soil investigation data for design of soil foundation
• Case studies on existing foundation methods used in engineering construction
• Discussion about implementation of the knowledge gained to develop good Projects.
