resource to the engineering principles used in theanalysis and design of both shallow and deep, load-bearingfoundations for a variety of building and structural types. Itsunique presentation focuses on new developments in computer-aidedanalysis and soil-structure interaction, including foundations asdeformable bodies.Written by the world's leading foundation engineers, Analysis andDesign of Shallow and Deep Foundations covers everything from soilinvestigations and loading analysis to major types of foundationsand construction methods. It also features:* Coverage on computer-assisted analytical methods, balanced withstandard methods such as site visits and the role of engineeringgeology* Methods for computing the capacity and settlement of both shallowand deep foundations* Field-testing methods and sample case studies, including projectswhere foundations have failed, supported with analyses of thefailure* CD-ROM containing demonstration versions of analyticalgeotechnical software from Ensoft, Inc. tailored for use bystudents in the classroom
