Welcome to Foundation Engineering!
This course introduces you to one of the most critical aspects of civil engineering—the design and construction of foundations that support all types of structures. Foundations transfer structural loads to the ground safely and efficiently, and understanding their behavior is essential for ensuring the stability and durability of buildings, bridges, and other infrastructure.

In this course, you'll learn about different types of foundations, including shallow and deep foundations, as well as the factors that influence their selection and design. Key topics include bearing capacity, settlement analysis, foundation construction methods, soil-structure interaction, and design principles based on various soil conditions.

The course combines theoretical concepts with real-world applications, case studies, and problem-solving exercises to help you build strong foundational knowledge—both literally and academically. By the end of this course, you’ll be equipped with the skills needed to analyze and design safe, efficient, and cost-effective foundation systems in your future projects.
