The 2nd edition of the Foundation Engineering Handbook has been revised to cover the 2009 International Building Code, and presents basic geotechnical field and laboratory studies, such as subsurface exploration and laboratory testing of soil, rock, and groundwater samples. This invaluable resource also discusses the geotechnical aspects of foundation engineering, including conditions commonly encountered by design engineers--settlement, expansive soil, and slope stability. Details on the performance or engineering evaluation of foundation construction and the application of the 2009 International Building Code are also included. 1,008 pp.
Coverage includes:
Subsurface exploration
Laboratory testing
Soil mechanics
Shallow and deep foundations
Bearing capacity and settlement of foundations
Foundations on expansive soil
Slope stability
Retaining walls
Foundation deterioration and cracking
Geotechnical earthquake engineering for soils, foundations, and retaining walls
Grading and other soil improvement methods
Foundation excavation, underpinning, and field load tests
