By V.N.S. Murthy

Book Overview

A must have reference for any advanced student or engineer involved with foundations, piers, and retaining walls, this remarkably comprehensive resource illustrates soil characteristic concepts with examples that detail a wealth of practical considerations, It covers the latest designs for drilled pier foundations and mechanically stabilized retaining walls and explores a pioneering approach for predicting the nonlinear behavior of laterally loaded long vertical and batter piles. An excellent teaching tool, the quick reference it affords to a huge range of tests and the appendices filled with critical data, make it an essential addition to every civil engineering library.
