Tharwat M. Baban* "Shallow Foundations: Discussions and Problem Solving"
2016 | ISBN-10: 111905611X | 752 pages | PDF | 24 MB

Shallow Foundations: Discussions and Problem Solving is written for civil engineers and all civil engineering students taking courses in soil mechanics and geotechnical engineering. It covers the analysis* design and application of shallow foundations* with a primary focus on the interface between the structural elements and underlying soil. Topics such as site investigation* foundation contact pressure and settlement* vertical stresses in soils due to foundation loads* settlements* and bearing capacity are all fully covered* and a chapter is devoted to the structural design of different types of shallow foundations. It provides essential data for the design of shallow foundations under normal circumstances* considering both the American (ACI) and the European (EN) Standard Building Code Requirements* with each chapter being a concise discussion of critical and practical aspects. Applications are highlighted through solving a relatively large number of realistic problems. A total of 180 problems* all with full solutions* consolidate understanding of the fundamental principles and illustrate the design and application of shallow foundations.
