About the Book
The Foundation Engineering Handbook
Manjriker Gunaratne
Great strides have been made in the art of foundation design during the
last two decades. In situ testing, site improvement techniques, the use of
geogrids in the design of retaining walls, modified ACI codes, and ground
deformation modeling using finite elements are but a few of the
developments that have significantly advanced foundation engineering in
recent years. What has been lacking, however, is a comprehensive
reference for foundation engineers that incorporates these state-of-the-art
concepts and techniques.
The Foundation Engineering Handbook fills that void. It presents both
classical and state-of-the-art design and analysis techniques for earthen
structures, and covers basic soil mechanics and soil and groundwater
modeling concepts along with the latest research results. It addresses
isolated and shallow footings, retaining structures, and modern methods of
pile construction monitoring, as well as stability analysis and ground
improvement methods. The handbook also covers reliability-based design
and LRFD (Load Resistance Factor Design)-concepts not addressed in most
foundation engineering texts.
Easy-to-follow numerical design examples illustrate each technique. Along
with its unique, comprehensive coverage, the clear, concise discussions and
logical organization of The Foundation Engineering Handbook make it the
one quick reference every practitioner and student in the field needs.
