THEORY AND PRACTICE OF FOUNDATION DESIGN------PHI
This
comprehensive text on foundation design is intended to introduce
students of civil engineering, architecture, and environmental
disciplines to the fundamentals of designing sound foundations and their
implementation. It offers an in-depth coverage of pre- and post-design
methodologies that include soil identification, site investigation,
interpretation of soil data and design parameters, foundations on
different soil types through to settlements, seismic responses, and
construction concerns. Though the book is woven around principles of
foundation design, it also incorporates application aspects that bridge
theory and practice. As an issue of contemporary importance it discusses
geotechnical details of developing earthquake resistant designs for
different soil types. In addition, the authors provide an extensive
account of ground improvement techniques.
Supported by the abundance
of real-world events/situations and examples that help students master
the text concepts, this volume becomes an incisive text and reference
guide.
