Foundation Engineering: Geotechnical Principles and Practical Applications
Book Description:
Master the art and science of foundation engineering
This civil engineering textbook shows how geotechnical theory connects with the design and construction of today’s foundations. Foundation Engineering: Geotechnical Principles and Practical Applications shows how to perform critical calculations, apply the newest ground modification technologies, engineer and build effective foundations, and monitor performance and safety. Written by a recognized expert in the field, the book covers both shallow and deep foundations. Real-world case studies and practice problems help reinforce key information.
Coverage includes:
• Soil classification, clay, and minerals
• Moisture content and unit weight
• Shear strength
• Consolidation
• Terzagi’s eureka moment
• Shallow foundations, stress distribution, and settlement
• Flow nets, seepage, and dewatering
• Slope stability
• Deep foundations
• Ground modification
• Retaining walls and wall friction
• Empirical tests
• Field monitoring
• Ethics and legal issues
