The Foundation Engineering Handbook
Crc Press Inc (Verlag)
978-1-4398-9277-0 (ISBN)
It presents both classical and state-of-the-art design and analysis techniques for earthen structures and examines the principles and design methods of foundation engineering needed for design of building foundations, embankments, and earth retaining structures. It covers basic soil mechanics, and soil and groundwater modeling concepts, along with the latest research results.
What’s New in the Second Edition:
Adds alternative analytical techniques to nearly every chapter
Supplements existing material with new content
Includes additional applications in the state of the art such as unsaturated soil mechanics, analysis of transient flow through soils, deep foundation construction monitoring based on thermal integrity profiling, and updated ground remediation techniques
Covers reliability-based design and LRFD (load resistance factor design) concepts not addressed in most foundation engineering texts
Provides more than 500 illustrations and over 1,300 equations
The text serves as an ideal resource for practicing foundation and geotechnical engineers, as well as a supplemental textbook for both undergraduate and graduate levels.
Manjriker Gunaratne, PhD, is professor and chairman of civil and environmental engineering at the University of South Florida, Tampa. He earned a BS in engineering from the Faculty of Engineering, University of Peradeniya, Sri Lanka, and the MASC and PhD degrees in civil engineering from the University of British Columbia, Vancouver, Canada, and Purdue University, West Lafayette, Indiana. He has authored/coauthored over 40 research papers that have been published in a number of peer-reviewed international journals. In addition, he has made a number of presentations at various national and international forums in geotechnical and highway engineering.
