This book provides a comprehensive guide to the design of
foundations for tall buildings. After a general review of the
characteristics of tall buildings, various foundation options are
discussed followed by the general principles of foundation design
as applied to tall buildings. Considerable attention is paid to the
methods of assessment of the geotechnical design parameters, as
this is a critical component of the design process. A detailed
treatment is then given to foundation design for various
conditions, including ultimate stability, serviceability, ground
movements, dynamic loadings and seismic loadings. Basement wall
design is also addressed. The last part of the book deals with pile
load testing and foundation performance measurement, and finally,
the description of a number of case histories. A feature of the
book is the emphasis it places on the various stages of foundation
design: preliminary, detailed and final, and the presentation of a
number of relevant methods of design associated with each stage.
