Editorial Review: Product Description: Using a design-oriented approach that addresses geotechnical, structural, and construction aspects of foundation engineering, this book explores practical methods of designing structural foundations, while emphasizing and explaining how and why foundations behave the way they do. It explains the theories and experimental data behind the design procedures, and how to apply this information to real-world problems. Covers general principles (performance requirements, soil mechanics, site exploration and characterization); shallow foundations (bearing capacity, settlement, spread footings -- geotechnical design, spread footings -- structural design, mats); deep foundations (axial load capacity -- full-scale load tests, static methods, dynamic methods; lateral load capacity; structural design); special topics (foundations on weak and compressible soils, foundation on expansive soils, foundations on collapsible soils); and earth retaining structures (lateral earth pressures, cantilever retaining walls, sheet pile walls, soldier pile walls, internally stabilized earth retaining structures). For geotechnical engineers, soils engineers, structural engineers, and foundation engineers. Average Rating:
 Rating:  - Great Textbook, Holds Some Value as a Reference TooIn short: Best Foundation Design Textbook. (Period). When I began teaching foundation design for senior-level undergraduates, I reviewed several texts from various authors. I was looking for a text that maximized value for the students: clear explanations of theories, instructive examples and problem sets, relatively current design criteria and practices, and usefulness as a reference *after the course*. I wasn't far from having been a student myself, and was still reeling from spending ... Read More Rating:  - Foundation Design:Principles & Practices by CodutoThe book is very useful in my teaching works in the subject foundation engineering. It is very easy to understand especially by the students themselves. I will recommend this as text of the subject in civil engineering. Hoping to purchase more books in some later time. Rating: - Great for ReferenceThis book starts with a great review of the basics of soil mechanics, and then discusses a wide range of topics such as foundations, bearing walls, footings, deep footings, and many more. Unlike other books, this book is not strictly theory; you can easily apply and understand what this book teaches. It also provides good examples. Rating: - Thumbs Up!This is the most practical and comprehensive source for understanding foundations and their design... Browse for similar items by category:
