This book covers the study of soil mechanics and foundation engineering. It mentions the recent developments in ground engineering, geoenvironmental engineering, underground construction, earthquake geotechniques, etc.

This book explains the concept of foundation engineering that is construction of buildings, bridges, highways, or dams. The book explains the principles and application of foundtion engineeing.

The First Comprehensive Guide to Shallow Foundations over the last few decades, the bearing capacity of shallow foundations has been studied more thoroughly than any other subject in geotechnical engineering. Until now, however, most references on foundation engineering devoted only a single chapter to the subject

Using a design-oriented approach that addresses geotechnical, structural, and construction aspects of foundation engineering, this book explores practical methods of designing structural foundations, while emphasizing and explaining how and why foundations behave the way they do.

Written in a clear, direct style, this practical book introduces readers to the essentials of soil mechanics and foundations. Major emphasis is given to design and practical applications, which are supported by basic theory.
