Description
Book Synopsis:
Using a design-oriented approach that addresses geotechnical, structural, and construction aspects of foundation engineering, this book explores practical methods of designing structural foundations, while emphasizing and explaining how and why foundations behave the way they do. It explains the theories and experimental data behind the design procedures, and how to apply this information to real-world problems. Covers general principles (performance requirements, soil mechanics, site exploration and characterization); shallow foundations (bearing capacity, settlement, spread footings -- geotechnical design, spread footings -- structural design, mats); deep foundations (axial load capacity -- full-scale load tests, static methods, dynamic methods; lateral load capacity; structural design); special topics (foundations on weak and compressible soils, foundation on expansive soils, foundations on collapsible soils); and earth retaining structures (lateral earth pressures, cantilever retaining walls, sheet pile walls, soldier pile walls, internally stabilized earth retaining structures). For geotechnical engineers, soils engineers, structural engineers, and foundation engineers.
For geotechnical engineers, soils engineers, structural engineers, and foundation engineers.

Looking to build a strong foundation for your construction projects? Look no further! Introducing Foundation Design: Principles and Practices, the ultimate guide to designing structural foundations that ensure stability and durability. This comprehensive book tackles all aspects of foundation engineering, from geotechnical and structural considerations to construction techniques. With a design-oriented approach, it delves into the theories and practical methods necessary for designing foundations that can withstand real-world challenges.
When it comes to constructing safe and reliable structures, understanding how foundations behave is crucial. Foundation Design: Principles and Practices goes above and beyond by explaining the underlying principles and experimental data that inform the design procedures. By gaining this knowledge, you'll be equipped to tackle any foundation-related problem you may encounter.
Designed for both geotechnical and structural engineers, this book covers a wide range of topics. From shallow foundations such as spread footings and mats to deep foundations like piles, it provides in-depth insights into design considerations and techniques for various types of foundations. It also explores specialized topics, including foundations on weak and compressible soils, expansive soils, and collapsible soils. Additionally, it delves into earth retaining structures, such as retaining walls and sheet pile walls.
