Homework and tests must conform to format given in syllabus. Failure to do so will result in reduced credit. Each time you use an equation, write down what it is: don't just put a bunch of numbers on the page and expect anyone to know what you did.

This too will result in reduced credit. You are studying now so that you may enter and practice the engineering profession later. The engineering profession is highly regarded by the public because those who practice it do so with ethical and social consciousness.

The same is expected of students in this course. We might say engineering judgment is the creative part of this design process. The necessary scientific principles are acquired through formal educational courses in geotechnical soil mechanics, geology, foundation engineering and structural analysis, design in reinforced concrete and steel, etc.

Locate the site and the position of load. Inspect the site for any geological or other evidence that may indicate a potential design problem 3. Establish the field exploration program 4.

Determine the necessary soil design parameters based on integration of test data, scientific principles, and engineering judgment. Design the foundation using the soil parameters from step 4. The foundation should be economical and be able to be built by the available construction personnel. A proper design requires the following: 1. Determining the building purpose, probable service-life loading, type of framing, soil profile, construction methods, and construction costs 2. Making the design, but ensuring that it does not excessively degrade the environment, and provides a margin of safety that produces a tolerable risk level to all parties: the public, the owner, and the engineer Asst.

Depth must be adequate to avoid lateral squeezing of material from beneath the foundation for footings and mats 2.
