Course Title: Foundations in Cold Regions

Delivery Method: Live Online

Course Description: This 6-hour live course will cover how to design and construct building foundations that account for the unique physical, thermal and mechanical properties of soils found in cold regions.

Learning Objectives:

Learning Objective 1:
Learners will be able to describe physical, thermal and mechanical properties of soils in cold regions as they relate to foundation design and construction.

Learning Objective 2:
Learners will be able to determine the bearing capacity and mitigate frost heave for shallow foundations in cold regions.

Learning Objective 3:
Learners will be able to identify and discuss various pile design philosophies, and describe unique factors that impact deep foundations in cold regions, including down drag, dynamic loads, and frost heave.

Learning Objective 4:
Learners will be able to identify and describe the long-term effects of freezing and thawing conditions on building materials and components.
