Summary

Foundation Engineering focuses on the analysis and design of foundations using rational approaches to a large extent. SoilStructure interaction approach using Winkler model for soil representation is discussed in detail along with conventional approach. It also presents the structural design methods using codes of practice for limit state design of RC structures. Analysis and design of commonly constructed shallow foundations as well as circular and annular foundations have been presented in detail. Pile foundations subjected to general loads and moments are discussed in detail. Presents updated design procedures in light of revised codes and standards, covering o American Concrete Institute (ACI) codes o Eurocode 7 o Other British Standardbased codes
