OSTI ID:175944
This is an up-to-date and authoritative guide on the design of foundations for buildings and bridges. Backed up by the author`s 25-plus years of experience as a contractor`s engineer and consulting engineer specializing in foundations and earthworks, the book covers all types of foundations: shallow strip, pad and raft, basement structures, driven and bored piles, and deep shafts. One will find practical advice on foundation design; explanation of new techniques of construction; examples of new techniques of foundation construction; a general update for design methods; and a special chapter on bridge foundations. There is also important information on foundation design for swelling and shrinking clays, filled ground, and mining subsidences. Contents include: site investigations and soil mechanics; the general principles of foundation design; foundation design in relation to ground movements; spread deepshaft foundations; buoyancy rafts and basements (box foundations); bridge foundation; piled foundations 1 -- the carrying capacity of piles and pile groups; piled foundations 2 -- structural design and construction methods; foundation construction; cofferdams; geotechnical processes; shoring and underpinning; protection of foundation structures against attack by soils and groundwater; appendices -- properties of materials; and conversion tables.
