- More about Fundamentals of Foundation Engineering
This book provides an introduction to the principle and design of various foundations, covering shallow foundations, mat foundations, earth retaining structures, excavations, pile foundations, and slope stability. It discusses soil properties from the geotechnical site investigation and the concept of drained or undrained soil properties. The design methods, required factors of safety, and improvement measures for each foundation type are elaborated, with relevant exercise examples and a problem set for self-practice. It is suitable for teachers and students and engineers engaged in foundation design.

This comprehensive book aims to provide a thorough introduction to the principles and designs of various foundations, encompassing shallow foundations, mat foundations, earth retaining structures, excavations, pile foundations, and slope stability. Since the analysis and design of foundations are contingent upon the soil properties under short-term (undrained) or long-term (drained) conditions, the first two chapters delve into the assessment of soil properties from geotechnical site investigations and the concept of drained or undrained soil properties. Foundation elements serve as the intermediary between the superstructure and the underlying soils or rocks, transmitting diverse load combinations. This book elucidates the load transfer mechanisms, vertical stress or earth pressure distributions, and failure modes of each foundation type in clear and concise terms.
Having gained a deeper understanding of the soil responses to foundation loadings, the subsequent chapters elaborate on the design methods, required factors of safety, and improvement measures for each foundation type. The book employs a practical and accessible approach, offering theoretical explication alongside practical applications to facilitate readers' comprehension of the theoretical background, design methodologies, and practical considerations. Each chapter includes relevant exercise examples and a problem set for self-practice, enabling readers to apply the analytical methods introduced to actual analysis and design.
The book is particularly suited for use in foundation engineering courses by teachers and students, as well as engineers involved in foundation design to develop technically sound, construction-feasible, and economically viable foundation systems. By staying abreast of the latest knowledge in foundation design, this book ensures that readers are well-equipped to address the challenges and complexities of foundation engineering projects.
