Learning Objectives:

Learning Objective 1:
Learners will be able to explain the importance of evaluating building sites for shallow foundations, which include site and soil exploration, subsurface exploration, and laboratory soil testing.

Learning Objective 2:
Learners will be able to establish the bearing capacity of soils and foundations when designing shallow foundations, and they will be take into account soil settlement.

Learning Objective 3:
Learners will be able to identify and describe special considerations and soil improvement needs for shallow foundations on expansive soils, stratified soils, and foundations on slopes.

Learning Objective 4:
learners will be able to describe foundation construction processes, including excavation, grading, slope stability, dewatering and drainage, surface preparation, and building code compliance.
