Master the art and science of foundation engineering
This civil engineering textbook shows how geotechnical theory connects with the design and construction of today’s foundations. Foundation Engineering: Geotechnical Principles and Practical Applications shows how to perform critical calculations, apply the newest ground modification technologies, engineer and build effective foundations, and monitor performance and safety. Written by a recognized expert in the field, the book covers both shallow and deep foundations. Real-world case studies and practice problems help reinforce key information.
Coverage includes:
• Soil classification, clay, and minerals
• Moisture content and unit weight
• Shear strength
• Consolidation
• Terzagi’s eureka moment
• Shallow foundations, stress distribution, and settlement
• Flow nets, seepage, and dewatering
From the Publisher
Richard L. Handy, Ph.D., is an Emeritus Distinguished Professor in the Department of Civil, Construction, and Environmental Engineering at Iowa State University. His studies relating soil properties to geologic origins led to his being elected a Fellow in the Geological Society of America and the American Association for the Advancement of Science. His mathematical treatment of arching action in soil corrected existing errors and received a major engineering award. Dr. Handy is also known for his writing aimed at non-technical readers.
