Description:
Soil and subsurface water conditions affect the design and performance of building projects. Therefore, knowledge about subsurface conditions is critical. This course discusses design tasks related to subgrade conditions, coordination of design professionals and division of responsibility, and the determination of what information is required and how to obtain it. This course is part of a four-part series that examines soil mechanics as it relates to building construction and performance. Each part can be taken as an individual course. In 2026, this material was reviewed and updated to remain timely but was not extensively rewritten.
