Geotechnical Engineering: Foundation Design
Product Description Combines a thorough theoretical presentation with the practical aspects of foundation design. The first three chapters offer a condensed version of the basic elements of soil mechanics. The remaining chapters deal with the design of diverse types of foundation components, retaining structures and site improvement. New topics include: drilled piers in rock, sheet-pile design graphs, underpinning, in place density test, and geoenvironmental improvements. Contains numerous photographs and example problems which demonstrate various procedures in problem solving. Includes several open-ended case studies representing actual data from the author's own projects. The publisher, John Wiley & Sons Instructor's Manual and Design Problem Supplement available. Reader Reviews This review is from: Geotechnical Engineering (Paperback) Professor Cernica has produced a great book. It goes deep into eccentric loadings of shallow foundations and does great illustration of lateral earth pressures and retaining wall design. This book continues with US customary units or fps and tries to show the practical engineering side of the analysis. It is well worth the price. Comment | | (Report this)
