Your guide to the design and construction of foundations on
expansive soils Foundation Engineering for Expansive Soils fills a
significant gap in the current literature by presenting coverage of
the design and construction of foundations for expansive soils.
Written by an expert author team with nearly 70 years of combined
industry experience, this important new work is the only modern
guide to the subject, describing proven methods for identifying and
analyzing expansive soils and developing foundation designs
appropriate for specific locations. Expansive soils are found
worldwide and are the leading cause of damage to structural roads.
The primary problem that arises with regard to expansive soils is
that deformations are significantly greater than in non-expansive
soils and the size and direction of the deformations are difficult
to predict. Now, Foundation Engineering for Expansive Soils gives
engineers and contractors coverage of this subject from a design
perspective, rather than a theoretical one. Plus, they'll have
access to case studies covering the design and construction of
foundations on expansive salts from both commercial and residential
projects. * Provides a succinct introduction to the basics of
expansive soils and their threats * Includes information on both
shallow and deep foundation design * Profiles soil remediation
techniques, backed-up with numerous case studies * Covers the most
commonly used laboratory tests and site investigation techniques
used for establishing the physical properties of expansive soils If
you're a practicing civil engineer, geotechnical engineer or
contractor, geologist, structural engineer, or an upper-level
undergraduate or graduate student of one of these disciplines,
Foundation Engineering for Expansive Soils is a must-have addition
to your library of resources.
