Education Working For You! SC 4 Deep Foundations QA/QC for Engineers, Contractors, and Inspectors Course Synopsis: Quality Assurance and Quality Control are important and integral parts of the success of deep foundation projects. Design, construction, testing, and inspection constitute the four main components and interactively contribute to the process. This includes presentations on the various QA/QC methods for driven piles, drilled shafts and auger-cast piles. Also presented will be discussions on deep foundations design principles, installation methods and equipment, important inspection aspects, and different testing methods’ applications, advantages and disadvantages. Instructor(s): Michael Justason, P.Eng., McMaster University/ Bermingham Foundation Solutions; Mohamad Hussein, P.E., GRL Engineers, Inc., Past-Chairman ASCE Geo-Institute’s Deep Foundations Committee and PDCA Education Committee SC 5 Using the Compaction Grouting Consensus Guide (ASCE/G-I 53-10) Course Synopsis: This is a practical course focused on concepts essential to effective compaction grouting. The basics of compaction grouting, including materials, equipment, design, and application will be addressed and demonstrated with case histories. The theoretical basis for compaction grouting will be covered together with applications using the guidance outlined in the Compaction Grouting Consensus Guide. The content of the Guide will be reviewed with an eye towards practical application. Additional discussions of other applications of the technology of Limited Mobility Grouting will also be presented.
