Based on the expertise of a distinguished team of soil and
foundation engineers, this handbook is the most complete and
authoritative reference on the construction and repair of
structural foundations available anywhere. It provides exclusive
coverage of site development, structural failures, and foundation
repair for residential and light commercial buildings, as well as
for high-rise buildings and other types of heavy construction.
Practical examples help clarify in-depth discussions of soil
mechanics; stress distribution and settlement; bearing capacity of
shallow foundations, piers, and piles; concrete mix properties; and
earth pressure and retaining systems. The book also addresses
important legal and insurance concerns.
