Principles of Foundation Engineering

A comprehensive guide for undergraduate civil engineering students. It bridges the gap between basic soil mechanics and the practical application of these theories in designing structural supports. The text covers essential geotechnical properties, such as grain-size distribution and shear strength, while detailing methods for subsurface exploration. Key focus areas include the analysis of shallow and deep foundations, lateral earth pressure on retaining structures, and modern techniques for soil improvement. Additionally, the author incorporates field case studies and updated design standards to illustrate how theoretical models perform in real-world, nonhomogeneous soil conditions.
