Foundation Design and Construction (7th Edition) by M. J. Tomlinson







Pireface to the seventh edition

In this edition all chapters have been brought up-to-

date with recent developments in foundation design and

construction techmques These include the recent re-

search undertaken by the Construction Industry Research

and Development Association (CIRIA) leadmg to revi-

sions of the current methods for determinmg allowable

bearing pressures of shallow foundations and the ulti-

mate resistance of piles bearing in chalk Also included

m a new method for determining the resistance of piles

driven to a deep penetration into sands This develop-

ment is based on research undertaken at Imperial Col-

lege, London, pnmanly for the foundations of offshore

structures. However, the method has useful applica-

tions for structures on land wherever piles are required

to be driven to a deep penetration to mobthze the re-

quired resistance in shaft friction
