Description
Book SynopsisA practical, straightforward, and easy-to-use graduate-level textbook on the principles of foundation engineering
Advanced Foundation Engineering offers clear and detailed coverage of all aspects of the design, analysis, construction, and testing of structural elements responsible for transferring imposed loads from a superstructure to the ground. Written for advanced undergraduate and graduate engineering students, this comprehensive textbook incorporates traditional foundation engineering topics as well as recent advances and innovations in the field. The authors include discussion of timely issues such as the impact of the digital revolution, worldwide environmental concerns, the increasing scarcity of raw materials, the use of geotechnical data banks, the sustainability of construction materials, and new site investigation techniques.
Focused on practical application rather than theoretical background, 27 in-depth chapters address the principles of geotechnic
