Principles Of Foundation Engineering 7th Ed

Principles of Foundation Engineering focuses on the study of the design and construction of foundations for buildings and other structures. It covers the basic concepts of soil mechanics, load distribution, and the behavior of foundations under various load conditions. The subject includes the analysis of soil properties, bearing capacity, settlement, and the selection of appropriate foundation types (shallow and deep foundations). This knowledge is crucial for ensuring the stability and safety of structures while preventing soil-related issues like settlement or failure.
