[PDF] The Engineering of Foundations

The Engineering of Foundations is Gtu Reference e book for Gujarat Technological College Civil Department College students in Engineering Third 12 months by Rodrigo Salgado.

The Engineering of Foundations presents the topic of basis engineering in alogical framework, in a pure sequence and in as easy a presentation as attainable. The textual content emphasizes conceptual understanding and avoids and over simplistic remedy of the topic. Estimation of soil parameters to be used in design is given excessive precedence.
