This second edition of the successful Foundations on Rock presents
an up-to-date practical reference book describing current
engineering practice in the investigation, design and construction
of foundations on rock. An extra chapter on Tension Foundations has
been included. The methods set out are readily applicable to high
rise buildings, bridges, dams and structures subject to uplift and
turning loads. Foundations on Rock differs from the many texts and
handbooks on soil foundations in that it focuses on the effect of
geology on the stability and settlement of rock foundations. While
the intact rock may be strong, defects in the rock such as faults,
joints and cavities, and the deterioration of the rock with time,
will have a significant effect on foundation performance. Methods
of detecting such defects are described, and their implications for
foundation design and treatment are elaborated.
