About this Book:
The First Comprehensive Guide to Shallow
Foundations
Over the last few decades, the bearing
capacity of shallow foundations has been studied more thoroughly than any other
subject in geotechnical engineering. Until now, however, most references on
foundation engineering devoted only a single chapter to the subject. Shallow
Foundations: Bearing Capacity and Settlement provides what many engineers have
been waiting for-a concise, comprehensive reference containing all the relevant
material on shallow foundation behavior under static and dynamic loads related
to their ultimate bearing capacity, allowable bearing capacity, and settlement.
Estimation Techniques, Earthquake
Loading, and Experimental Results
The author-a renowned expert-presents
the various theories developed during the past fifty years for estimating the
ultimate bearing capacity of shallow foundations under various types of loading
and subsoil conditions. He discusses the principles of estimating foundation
settlement and for estimating the stress increase in a soil mass supporting a
foundation. Earthquake loading and its effects on ultimate bearing capacity
have received considerable attention in recent years, and the author provides
an overview of these developments. He also offers details regarding permanent
foundation settlement caused by cyclic and transient loading-details derived
from laboratory and field experimental observations.
Progress in Soil Reinforcement
Researchers have made steady progress in
evaluating the potential of soil reinforcement to reduce settlement and
increase ultimate and allowable bearing capacities of shallow foundations. This
book provides an entire chapter on the subject, including discussions of the
materials used: galvanized steel strips, geotextile, and geogrid.
The presentation of Shallow Foundations
is clear, concise, and filled with examples and exercises that illustrate the
theory. This book stands alone as an in-depth, authoritative guide to shallow
foundation bearing capacities and the effects of different soil types, slopes,
settlement, reinforcement, and seismic activity. Researchers, students, and
practicing engineers will all welcome its addition to their reference shelves.
