Certificate on 14 Professional Development Hours (PDH) -- Continuing Education Units (CEU) -- will be provided.
The primary intent of the courses is to provide information that will enable the attendees to recognize that deep foundation design is a good deal more than finding some value of capacity, and to show what data one must pull together and what processes of analysis and calculations that are necessary for a design of a specific project.
The presentation includes both broad generalities and in-depth details. It is not the intent to present all aspects of how to install instrumentation, perform a test, operate software, etc. For example, although settlement analysis is of vital importance to the design of piled foundations and the course addresses the principles of settlement analysis, the presentation only briefly addresses the mechanics of actually calculating settlement. Moreover, some details are included of construction aspects as well as aspects of Limit States Design, LSD (Ultimate Limit States, ULS, and Serviceability Limit States, SLS), by Canadian terminology and Load and Resistance Factor Design, LRFD, by US terminology.
Dr. Bengt H. Fellenius is a professional engineer specializing in foundation design and studies by participation in project teams, special investigations, instrumented field tests, etc. Dr. Fellenius graduated from the Royal Institute of Technology in Stockholm, Sweden in 1962 and moved to North America in 1972. He was Professor of Civil Engineering at the University of Ottawa from 1979 through 1996. He is an internationally recognized authority in the field of soil mechanics and foundation engineering, and, in particular, in pile foundations. He is the author of more than 250 technical journal and conference papers, articles, books, and book chapters. and has gained a wealth of practical experience during more than 40 years of work at home and abroad through a variety of assignments that encompass foundation design for water and sewage treatment plants, industrial plants, bridges, and highway projects, marine structures, and urban area development.
Dr. Fellenius is and has been an active participant in many national and international professional societies and research associations, and in Canadian and US Codes and Standards Development. For example, Member of the subcommittee for the American Society for Testing and Materials D- 4945 Standard for High-Strain Dynamic Testing of Piles; Chairman of the Canadian Geotechnical Society Technical Committee on Foundations writing the Canadian Foundation Engineering Manual Second Edition; Member of the Ministry of Transportation Committee for the Development of the 1983 and 1992 Ontario Bridge Design Code; Author of three Public Works Canada publications: Marine Division Master Specifications for Piling, Pile Design Guidelines, and Hammer Selection Guide; Past Overseas Correspondent Member to the Geotechnical Engineering Advisory Panel of the Institution of Civil Engineers, ICE (London); and Past Member of Editorial Board for the ASCE Geotechnical Engineering Journal. He has given lectures and courses to several universities, professional groups, and national and international conferences throughout Europe, America, and south-east Asia.
