Applied Geotechnics for Construction Projects, Volume 3 serves as the backbone of geotechnical engineering for civil and industrial construction, focusing specifically on foundations. This volume begins by introducing the theoretical principles and rules that govern the design and validation of shallow, semi-deep, and deep foundations. It then dives into real-world foundation projects, comparing calculation approaches to the reference systems and Eurocodes, offering a comprehensive validation against modern standards.
The third chapter provides detailed examples of various foundation projects, including building rafts, strip footings, piles, and embankments, enriched by the authors’ vast experience. The volume concludes with practical insights into foundation damage and appendices that provide invaluable information for design and troubleshooting.
Richly illustrated with photographs and detailed measurements from construction sites, this volume offers a blend of theory and practical experience, making it a crucial resource for anyone involved in foundation design and geotechnics.
