General Information

Summary:	This course is directed toward the practicing geotechnical, foundation, and structural engineer who has basic knowledge and experience in the design and construction of deep foundations. The course compares and contrasts micropiles with traditional deep foundation types, presents a stepwise procedure for the design of micropiles, and discusses aspects and issues concerning construction, inspection and integrity testing.
Learning Outcomes:	Upon completion of the course, participants will be able to: * Perform geotechnical and structural design for micropiles in structural foundation support applications. * Describe design concepts and methods for micropile slope stabilization and earth retention systems. * Describe the difference between the various types of load tests and the different load test factors. * Describe the construction process and testing of micropile systems to ensure compliance with the contacting specifications. * Identify the items included in and appropriately apply the different types of specifications and contract. * Evaluate if micropiles are likely to be an option that is viable and cost effective.
Target Audience:	Geotechnical specialists, foundation engineers, bridge engineers, and foundation construction engineers involved with the design and construction of foundations.

Final Exam:	Yes
