This book aims to introduce the principle and design of various
foundations, covering shallow foundations, mat foundations, earth
retaining structures, excavations, pile foundations, and slope
stability. Since the analysis and design of a foundation are based
on the soil properties under short-term (undrained) or long-term
(drained) conditions, the assessment of soil properties from the
geotechnical site investigation and the concept of drained or
undrained soil properties are discussed in the first two chapters.
Foundation elements transfer various load combinations from the
superstructure to the underlying soils or rocks. The load transfer
mechanisms, vertical stress or earth pressure distributions, and
failure modes of each foundation type are clearly explained in this
book. After understanding the soil responses subjected to the
loadings from the foundation, the design methods, required factors
of safety, and improvement measures for each foundation type are
elaborated. This book presents both theoretical explication and
practical applications for readers to easily comprehend the
theoretical background, design methods, and practical applications
and considerations. Each chapter provides relevant exercise
examples and a problem set for self-practice. The analysis methods
introduced in the book can be applied in actual analysis and design
as they contain the most up-to-date knowledge of foundation design.
This book is suitable for teachers and students to use in
foundation engineering courses and engineers who are engaged in
foundation design to create a technically sound,
construction-feasible, and economical design of the foundation
system.
