Contents:
1. Defining what is there | 2. Getting along with classification | 3. Foundation settlement | 4. Soils behaving badly | 5. Stresses in soils | 6. Evaluating soil shear strength | 7. Shallow foundation bearing capacity | 8. The standard penetration test in foundation engineering | 9. Probing with cone penetration tests and the Marchetti dilatometer | 10. Focus on lateral stress | 11. Design of deep foundations | 12. Ground improvement | 13. Appendix: the engineering report and legal issues | 14. Index
Summary: “This civil engineering textbook explores the connection between geotechnical theory and 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”
