    Foundation Design


    It Is Well Realized That ‘Geotechnical Engineering Is An Engineering Science But Its Practice Is An Art!’ Foundations Are Essential Interfaces Between The Superstructure And The Supporting Soil At The Site Of Construction.
    Thus They Have To Be Designed Logically To Suit The Loads Coming From The Superstructure And The Strength, Stiffness And Other Geological Conditions Of The Supporting Soil.
    With An Enormous Increase In Construction Activities All Over The World, Structures And Their Foundations Have Become Very Sophisticated While The Supporting Soil Has To Accommodate These Variations And Complexities.




    This Book Focuses On The Analysis And Design Of Foundations Using Rational As Well As Conventional Approaches.
    It Also Presents Structural Design Methods Using Codes Of Practice And Limiting State Design Of Reinforced Concrete (RCC) Structures.
    This Book Was Evolved From The Courses On Foundation Engineering Taught By The Author Formerly In The Indian Institute Of Technology Kanpur, India And Presently In The School Of Engineering And IT, Universiti Malaysia Sabah, Kota Kinabalu, Malaysia.

    Accordingly, The Contents Of The Book Are Presented In A User-Friendly Manner That Is Easy To Follow And Practice.

    The Book Consists Of 12 Chapters Plus Appendices. Chapters 1–3 Present The Engineering Properties, Tests And Design Parameters Needed For The Analysis And Design Of Foundations.
    Chapter 4 Discusses The Conventional And Rational Approaches For Designing Different Types Of Shallow Foundations, Including Rafts.

    Methods For Exact Solutions Using Beams And Plates On Elastic Foundations Are Presented In Chapter 5. Numerical Methods Of Analysis Such As Finite Difference Method (FDM) And Methods Of Weighted Residuals (Galerkin, Least Squares, Etc.) Are Discussed In Chapter 6. The Finite Element Method (FEM) For Foundation Analysis Is Explained In Chapter 7.

    The Design Criteria For Shallow Foundations Are Presented In Chapter 8 While Actual Design Principles Are Given In Chapter 12 Along With Structural Design Details. Chapter 9 Discusses The Design And Construction Of Deep Foundations Such As Piles, Large Diameter Drilled Piers, Pile Raft Systems And Non-Drilled Piers/Caissons.

    The Construction Aspects And Design Of Pile Foundations Are Presented In Chapter
    . The Principles
