DESCRIPTION:
Foundation Design and Construction has long been established as the most comprehensive and authoritative guide to the subject. The text first introduces basic theory and then, by means of case studies, practical worked examples and design charts, develops an in-depth understanding of foundation design and construction methods. These include recent research undertaken by the Construction Industry Research and Development Association (CIRIA) leading to new methods and design rules, and a discussion of the requirements for the latest draft of Eurocode 7: Geotechnical Design.. Types of foundation covered include shallow strip, pad and raft, basement structures, driven and bored piles, and deep shafts. The combination of soil engineering principles, design information, and construction details, makes this book an essential resource for undergraduates and practitioners alike. Practical information is also given on foundation design for swelling and shrinking clays, filled ground and mining
"Pretty comprehensive book" according to VANESSA THOMPSON. The book is quite good and reasonably comprehensive. Not a complete guide to all foundation engineering but good enough for those structural engineers dabbling in geotechnics.. foundation design and construction The book was in good state. It is an excellent tool for anybody who works with soils. Practical advice about testing.
