Advanced Foundation Engineering: Geotechnical Engineering Series

Advanced Foundation Engineering: Geotechnical Engineering Series

Advanced Foundation Engineering is the second volume in the series on geotechnical engineering closely following A Textbook of Soil Mechanics and Foundation Engineering written to meet the requirements of undergraduate students. This volume covers various aspects of foundation engineering bringing together all the relevant advanced theories coherently. As foundations have to be designed to simulate field conditions it is imperative that the consulting engineer must be conversant with all the theories that are available as also the available approaches. This volume strives to meet most of these requirements It also presents in detail authors own research work on laterally loaded pile foundations to solve many of the problems confronted in this field. The approach is direct and simple as compared to the complicated methods proposed by others. This is an excellent text-reference for the postgraduate students practising engineers consultants researchers and professionals in addition to serving as a valuable resource for the candidates appearing in Graduate Aptitude Test for Engineers (GATE) UPSC and other national selection entrance tests / examinations.
