Foundation Engineering Workshop:

Digging into the Basics and Beyond

Join us for an exclusive workshop presented by the Structural Engineer Jordan Craker. Learn from the expert and gain valuable industry insights on Footing design.

BY THE END OF THE 2HR WORKSHOP, YOU WILL LEARN:

✅ How to confidently interpret geotechnical reports and select appropriate footings based on building types

✅ When to opt for pad footings over bored piers, and when pile caps are necessary

✅ Equip yourself to design footings for Class E (extremely reactive) problem sites

✅ Become proficient in designing piers while considering real-world limitations and various design parameters

✅ Streamline your design with spreadsheets for quick and efficient results

✅ Align your design to factors like negative skin friction within climatic zone influence

✅ Become well-versed in the practical limitations of the construction industry in Australia and integrate these limitations into your designs

✅ Understand how foundation design intricately influences the superstructure and become aware of how your decisions above ground impact the design below ground
