This manual for civil and structural engineers aims to simplify as
much as possible a complex subject which is often treated too
theoretically, by explaining in a practical way how to provide
uncomplicated, buildable and economical foundations.
It explains simply, clearly and with numerous worked examples
how economic foundation design is achieved. It deals with both
straightforward and difficult sites, following the process through
site investigation, foundation selection and, finally,
design.
The book:
includes chapters on many aspects of foundation engineering that
most other books avoid including
filled and contaminated sites
mining and other man-made conditions
features a step-by-step procedure for the design of lightweight and
flexible rafts, to fill the gap in guidance in this much neglected,
yet extremely economical foundation solution
concentrates on foundations for building structures rather than the
larger civil engineering foundations
includes many innovative and economic solutions developed and used
by the authors' practice but not often covered in other
publications
provides an extensive series of appendices as a valuable reference
source.
For the Second Edition the chapter on contaminated and derelict
sites has been updated to take account of the latest guidelines on
the subject, including BS 10175. Elsewhere, throughout the book,
references have been updated to take account of the latest
technical publications and relevant British Standards.
