Surface Foundation Course

The "Surface Foundations" course addresses the essential study of foundation structures, pillars of the integrity and stability of any architectural project. Through comprehensive content, from determinants and failure modes, to bearing capacity and service limit states, each module displays key criteria for understanding the behavior of the foundations. Participants will deepen the foundations, learn to discern the critical factors in design and construction, and to verify possible failures. With knowledge applicable to varied contexts, such as offshore or dynamic works, the course becomes a strategic link for integral formation in the field of civil engineering.

At the end of this module, the student: - He will be able to understand what the surface foundations are, - he will know the relevant conditions for the design and construction of surface foundations, - he will know the failure modes and the factors associated with each one, - will have within its reach a wide range of methods to verify the failure modes associated with the surface foundations, - will have acquired key concepts to understand the behavior of the behavior of the surface foundations

The Superficial Foundation Course opens various labor opportunities in the construction and civil engineering sector. With solid knowledge in bearing capacity, failure modes and service limit states, graduates can opt for roles of technician specialist in foundation design in architecture and engineering signatures, supervision of works and consulting in projects that involve slabs and wells. Preparation in dynamic aspects and offshore contexts extends the field to sea buildings and structures subjected to environmental loads.

This surface foundation course focuses on providing the student with the ability to analyze and understand the essential bases of surface foundations. You will learn to identify the critical factors that influence the design and execution of these structures. You will explore the different ways of failure, recognizing the key aspects that affect their stability and performance. In addition, you will familiarize yourself with different methodologies to evaluate the bearing capacity and the service limit states. At the end, you will have theoretical and practical tools to address projects related to foundations in various contexts, including the challenges of the offshore field.

Aimed at construction and civil engineering professionals, this module provides the participant with the ability to analyze surface foundations, detailing decisive failures and factors in its design and building. When completing, studies of bearing capacity, service limit states and peculiarities of slabs and wells will be dominated, even in dynamic contexts and offshore, enriching the theoretical-practical understanding in the structural field.
