DESCRIPTION:
So, just as Poulos’ previous books, this book is essential reading for anyone involved in foundation design for significant structures, but there is much here that will appeal from a general interest perspective. Although the title suggests the book only covers foundation design, that is far from the truth. "This is a very valuable book, since it introduces a complex and not universally known problem and authoritatively suggests the proper approaches and methods of analysis to solve it."-- Carlo Viggiani, University of Napoli Federico II, Italy"This is a most comprehensive book on "Tall Building Foundation Design", and I ca
A detailed treatment is then given to foundation design for various conditions, including ultimate stability, serviceability, ground movements, dynamic loadings and seismic loadings. This book provides a comprehensive guide to the design of foundations for tall buildings. The last part of the book deals with pile load testing and foundation performance measurement, and finally, the description of a number of case histories. After a general review of the characteristics of tall b
A feature of the book is the emphasis it places on the various stages of foundation design: preliminary, detailed and final, and the presentation of a number of relevant methods of design associated with each stage.. Considerable attention is paid to the methods of assessment of the geotechnical design parameters, as this is a critical component of the design process. Basement wall design is also addressed. The last part of the book deals with pile load testing and foundation performance measurement, and finally, the description of a number of case histories.
