Contents:
Introduction -- Geotechnical and index properties: laboratory testing, settlement and strength correlations -- Exploration, sampling, and in situ soil measurements -- Bearing capacity of foundations -- Foundation settlements -- Improving site soils for foundation use -- Factors to consider in foundation design -- Spread footing design -- Special footings and beams on elastic foundations -- Mat foundations -- Lateral earth pressure -- Mechanically stabilized earth and concrete retaining walls -- Sheet-pile walls: cantilevered and achored -- Walls for excavations -- Cellular cofferdams -- Single piles -- static capacity and lateral loads; pile/pole buckling -- Single piles: dynamic analysis, load test -- Pile foundations: groups -- Drilled piers or caissons -- Design of foundations for vibration controls
Summary: The revision of this text for a junior/senior course in foundation analysis and design now includes an IBM computer disk containing 16 compiled programs together with the data sets used to produce the output sheets, as well as new material on sloping ground, pile and pile group analysis, and procedures for an improved anlysis of lateral piles. Bearing capacity analysis has been substantially revised for footings with horizontal as well as vertical loads. Footing design for overturning now incorporates the use of the same uniform linear pressure concept used in ascertaining the bearing capacity. Increased emphasis is placed on geotextiles for retaining walls and soil nailing. -- Cover.
