One of the core roles of a practising geotechnical engineer is to
analyse and design foundations. This textbook for advanced
undergraduates and graduate students covers the analysis, design
and construction of shallow and deep foundations and retaining
structures as well as the stability analysis and mitigation of
slopes. It progressively introduces critical state soil mechanics
and plasticity theories such as plastic limit analysis and cavity
expansion theories before leading into the theories of foundation,
lateral earth pressure and slope stability analysis. On the
engineering side, the book introduces construction and testing
methods used in current practice. Throughout it emphasizes the
connection between theory and practice. It prepares readers for the
more sophisticated non-linear elastic-plastic analysis in
foundation engineering which is commonly used in engineering
practice, and serves too as a reference book for practising
engineers. A companion website provides a series of Excel
spreadsheet programs to cover all examples included in the book,
and PowerPoint lecture slides and a solutions manual for lecturers.
Using Excel, the relationships between the input parameters and the
design and analysis results can be seen. Numerical values of
complex equations can be calculated quickly. non-linearity and
optimization can be brought in more easily to employ functioned
numerical methods. And sophisticated methods can be seen in
practice, such as p-y curve for laterally loaded piles and flexible
retaining structures, and methods of slices for slope stability
analysis.
