By the end of the course, you should be able to:
-
Apply performance criteria to construction techniques and structural form considering the intended use
-
Design appropriate waterproofing to achieve the desired environment
-
Propose structural form and sequence to match the geotechnical conditions
-
Plan construction methodology and sequence, including estimating schedule and costs
-
Assess the logistics and space requirements of different equipment considering the construction methodology and ground conditions
-
Design deep basements taking into account of all the above
-
Gain awareness of structural options
Civil or structural engineers (from contractors to consultants) with some understanding of the design process, or those who wish to develop their design knowledge and experience, in both the technical and practical aspects of deep basement design and construction.
Graduate civil and structural engineers, practising design and construction engineers, and other professionals interested in the design and construction of deep basements.
