Deep basement design and construction

Learning outcomes

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 high level estimating of schedule and costs

• Assess the logistics and space requirements of different equipment considering the construction methodology and ground/groundwater conditions

• Gain awareness of geotechnical risks and structural options

• Design deep basements taking into account all of the above
