Foundation Design and Construction for our Structural Brethren
Deep Foundation Design Basic Cookbook
Presented By: Marc J. Gallagher, PE, LEED AP and Michael Fritzges, PE Langan Engineering & Environmental Services |
Foundations are often the largest unknown during the initial design of a project. With more and more projects being constructed on land previously thought of as "marginal" the foundation challenge becomes even greater. These unknowns can be grossly over or under estimated in a proforma, giving a skewed financial outlook for a project. This presentation will look at the basic elements of pile foundation design and construction, to provide a basic understanding of:
• Different pile types
• Design of piles
• Rules of thumb for early estimating
• Construction requirements/issues
• Load testing
The overall objective is to arm a structural designer with some basic understanding of why type of piles may be appropriate for a job and some back of the envelope load capacity estimates – with this understanding early meetings with clients, even before a geotechnical consultant is on board, can be more productive.
