Shallow Foundations: Bearing Capacity and Settlement, Second Edition (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9780367385958)

Considered the standard engineering reference on shallow foundations, this edition renews the status of the benchmark first edition. Completely reworked by one of the top experts in the field, it covers all the latest developments and approaches. Equally valuable to researchers and designers as it is to engineering students, this resource updates data and provides revised theories on the ultimate and allowable bearing capacities of shallow foundations. It adds new information on a number of unique circumstances such as foundations on soil with geogrid reinforcement as well as bearing capacity relationships for shallow foundations subjected to eccentric and inclined loads. It also covers advances in reinforcement materials.
