Canadian Foundation Engineering Manual - 4th Edition






Preface
The Canadian Foundation Engineering Manual is a publication ofthe Canadian Geotechnical Society. It is originally based on a manual prepared under the auspices of the National Research Council ofCanada Associate Committee on the National Building Code, Subcommittee on Structural Design for the Building Code. A draft manual for public comment was published in 1975. In 1976, the Canadian Geotechnical Society assumed responsibility for the Manual and placed it under the Technical Committee on Foundations. This coinmittee revised the 1975 draft and published in 1978 the first edition ofthe Canadian Foundation Engineering Manual, which incorporated suggestions received on the 1975 draft.

The Society solicited comments on the Manual and suggestions for revisions and additions in Seminars across the country. In 1983, the Society requested that the Technical Committee review the comments and suggestions received and prepare a second edition of the Manual published in 1985. A third edition was produced in 1992, including various revisions and additions. Further developments in applied GeoEngineering and Ground Engineering are included in this fourth edition, published in 2006.

The Manual is truly produced by the membership ofthe Canadian Geotechnical Society. The number of individuals who have contributed to the manual first, the preparation of the 1975 draft, then the 1978 first edition, the 1985 second edition, the 1992 third edition and this 2006 fourth edition - is very large.
