Thanks to this very complete postgraduate certificate you will learn about the most significant characteristics of Deep Foundations and you will grow in your profession"  

The postgraduate certificate in Deep Foundations is academically designed to provide in-depth knowledge, based on advanced concepts already acquired in the world of civil engineering and from a practical application point of view, of the most important geotechnical aspects that can be found in different types of civil works. 

Any deep foundation has accessory elements that are important for the operation of the whole, such as the pile caps, whose dimensioning and construction is also the subject of this module.

The topics that make up this part of the postgraduate certificate also address the limitations of this type of foundation by presenting cases of sizing and repair of Deep Foundations with faults.  

This postgraduate certificate in Deep Foundations integrates the most complete and innovative educational program in the current market in terms of knowledge and latest available technologies, in addition to encompassing all the sectors or parties involved in this field. In addition, the postgraduate certificate consists of exercises based on real cases of situations currently managed or previously faced by the teaching team.

All this, through a 100% online specialization that provides the student with the ease of being able to take it wherever and whenever they want. All you need is a device with internet access, and you will be able to access a universe of knowledge that will be the main asset of the engineer when positioning themselves in a sector that is increasingly in demand by companies in various sectors.

This postgraduate certificate in Deep Foundations is the most comprehensive and up-to-date educational program on the market. The most important features of the specialization are:

TECH has designed this comprehensive Deep Foundations with the aim of training engineering professionals to be able to design, implement and work on Civil Works, knowing everything related to this industry and technical and professional aspects at the national and international level that directly affect it. To this end, specific aspects of the profession that stand out for their enormous importance in today's business landscape will be addressed, and for which large corporations are increasingly demanding competent engineers with a solid specialized training.

TECH pursues only one goal with its specializations: to catapult students toward professional success"

General Objectives

• Delve deeper into kinds of grounds, not only in their typology but also in their behavior Not only in the evident differentiation of stresses and deformations of soils and rocks, but also under particular but very common conditions, such as the presence of water or seismic disturbances
• Efficiently recognize the needs for soil characterization, being able to design campaigns with the optimal means for each type of structure, optimizing and giving added value to the study of materials
• Identify the behavior of slopes and semi-subterranean structures such as foundations or walls in their different typologies This complete identification must be based on understanding and being able to anticipate the behavior of the terrain, the structure and its interface Know in detail the possible faults that each set can produce and as a consequence have a deep understanding of the repair operations or improvement of materials to mitigate damage 
• Receive a complete tour of tunnel and gallery excavation methodologies, analyzing all drilling procedures, design constraints, support and lining

Specific Objectives

• Acquire a detailed knowledge of piles as deep foundation elements, analyzing all their characteristics, construction typologies, auscultation capacity, types of failure, etc.
• Review other deep foundations of more specific use, for special structures, pointing out those types of projects in which they are used and with very particular practical cases 
• Analyze the major enemies of this type of foundations, such as negative friction or loss of tip resistance, among others
• Have a high degree of knowledge of deep foundation repair methodologies and auscultation, both initial execution and repairs
• Mesaure and size in a correct way and according to the particular characteristics of the work, the appropriate deep foundations
• Complete the study of deep foundations with the upper bracing elements and their grouping, with a clear development of the structural dimensioning of the pile caps

A training designed based on practical cases that will teach you how to act in real situations in the daily practice of your profession"
