The Foundation Engineering Handbook

Presenting both classical and state-of-the-art design and analysis techniques for earthen structures, this book provides the fundamentals of foundation engineering. This new edition includes analytical techniques to solve geotechnical problems associated with unsaturated soils and transient groundwater flow, extended coverage on computer oriented numerical design techniques of combined footings, and extensive updates to the existing chapters. It also addresses isolated and shallow footings, retaining structures, modern methods of pile construction monitoring, as well as stability analysis and ground improvement methods.
