A SHORT COURSE IN FOUNDATION ENGINEERING - 2ND EDITION
Since the first edition (see IRRD 223570) a large number of computer programs have appeared for solving foundation design problems, and the need to check these outputs by "hard calculation" has become vitally important. In this second edition the authors concentrate data and information in the form of tables and charts and illustrate design methods with worked examples. The content of the book has been updated to include new sections on short term and long term stability, critical state interpretation of peak strength, seismic methods for measuring ground stiffness in situ, and offshore pile design : total stress and effective stress approaches.
