Foundation Engineering (GTE 310) Notes – Pokhara University

Welcome to the ultimate learning hub for download and study of Foundation Engineering (GTE 310) Notes. This subject is a core component for Bachelor of Civil Engineering (BCE) and Bachelor of Civil and Rural Engineering (BCRE) students under the Faculty of Science and Technology, Pokhara University (Level: Year III / Semester V).

This dedicated notes category provides structured study materials, chapter-wise lecture notes, solved numerical problems, past exam question papers, and practical guides tailored to help civil engineering students master the analysis and design of structural foundations.

Course Overview & Structure

Course Title: Foundation Engineering
Course Code: GTE 310
Credit Hours: 3 (Nature: Theory & Practice | Total: 45 Hours)
Marks Scheme: Full Marks: 100 | Pass Marks: 45

Main Syllabus Highlights Covered in Notes
Our lecture notes cover key geotechnical engineering concepts strictly following the updated Pokhara University syllabus:

Unit 1: Soil Exploration & Field Testing (6 hrs) – Site investigation stages, soil samplers, disturbed/undisturbed samples, boring methods, field penetration tests (SPT, SCPT, DCPT), groundwater observations, and site reporting notes.
Unit 2: Earth Pressure Theories & Retaining Structures (10 hrs) – Rankine’s, Coulomb’s, and Culmann’s earth pressure theories (Active, Passive, At Rest), sheet pile wall design, open cut bracings, stability analysis, and soil arching formulas.
Unit 3: Bearing Capacity & Settlement (8 hrs) – Evaluation of bearing capacity using Terzaghi, Meyerhof, Hansen, Vesic, and Skempton methods; effect of the water table; field tests (Plate Load Test & SPT N-value); and settlement analysis.
Unit 4: Design of Shallow Foundations (5 hrs) – Proportioning, analysis, and structural design of spread footings, combined footings, strap beam footings, and mat (raft) foundations.
Unit 5: Pile Foundations (7 hrs) – Classification of piles, load capacity computation using static/dynamic formulas, pile load tests, SPT/CPT values, group efficiency, settlement in clay, and negative skin friction.
Unit 6: Piers, Caissons & Cofferdams (6 hrs) – Well foundations (components, lateral stability by Terzaghi, sinking process, tilt & shift rectification), caisson types, and cofferdams.
Unit 7: Ground Improvement Techniques (3 hrs) – Modern ground stabilization methods including preloading, dynamic compaction, grouting, admixtures, sand compaction piles, soil reinforcement, and geosynthetics.
