and construction process. This text provides an up-to-date overview
of the classification of soils, the design of foundations, and the
behavior of soils under load. Particular emphasis has been given to
the subject of piles, piers, and caissons, and to the design and
details of construction of basement and retaining walls. New to
this edition: Expanded coverage of shear strength of soils,
settlement analysis, and expansive soil. Design requirements for
prestressed tiebacks, tiedowns, and rock anchors. Expansion of
information on pile driving techniques including the use of the
Engineering News Formula. A table of British-metric conversions.
Many new solved problems and illustrations. In addition to the
numerous new improvements, the author also includes: effects of
high water tables on architectural and engineering considerations,
design of shear keys used in the transfer of lateral earth pressure
from a wall to the supporting element, various drainage
alternatives to the structural treatment of adjacent footings, and
much more. Soils and Foundations for Architects and Engineers,
Second Edition can be used in advanced undergraduate and graduate
level courses offered in architectural engineering and civil
engineering, as well as be used as a reference book by practicing
architects, insurance adjusters and attorneys who litigate or
