SECTION 1:
• Types of building foundations and their design concepts.
• Types of failures, failure classification, common causes and mitigations, etc.
• Building foundation failure investigation: purposes, techniques, procedures & checklist.
• Common methods for remediation & technical basis.
• How ground vibration and ground movement can cause building foundation to failure.

SECTION 2: Case study 1
• Case history of building foundation failure in filled ground failure description, failure investigation, result analysis, findings, recommendations, design of remediation works & construction details, construction controls and scope of design validation, etc.
• Presentation and explanation will focus on mechanism and theories on how the collapse settlement and ground movement have induced significant settlement and negative friction on the supporting piles leading to excessive settlement which result in structural cracks on the ground beams and superstructures.
• Mitigations and precautions to avoid committing similar problems will be suggested.

SECTION 3: Case study 2
• Case History of building foundation failure is about how settling columns of buildings are remedied. Presentation include problem description, identification and determination of possible causes for the problem, methods and proposals of remedy considered, analysis of proposals and recommendation, construction and design validation, etc.

SECTION 4: Case study 3
• Presentation, illustration and discussion of 5 cases histories of building foundation failures on slope, filled ground & soft ground will be carried out with participants.
• Scope of discussion/presentation includes how the causes for failure are investigated and determined, how cost-effective remediation methods are selected, how to analysis the problem, how to ensure the proposal is effective, etc., will be discussed. Your questions about building foundation failures will be answered.
