In Foundation Design: Theory and Practice
, Professor N. S. V. Kameswara Rao covers the key aspects of the subject, including principles of testing, interpretation, analysis, soil-structure interaction modeling, construction guidelines, and applications to rational design. Rao presents a wide array of numerical methods used in analyses so that readers can employ and adapt them on their own. Throughout the book the emphasis is on practical application, training readers in actual design procedures using the latest codes and standards in use throughout the world.
Presents updated design procedures in light of revised codes and standards, covering:
American Concrete Institute (ACI) codes
Eurocode 7
Other British Standard-based codes including Indian codes
Provides background materials for easy understanding of the topics, such as:
Code provisions for reinforced concrete
Pile design and construction
Machine foundations and construction practices
Tests for obtaining the design parameters
Features subjects not covered in other foundation design texts:
Soil-structure interaction approaches using analytical, numerical, and finite element methods
Analysis and design of circular and annular foundations
Analysis and design of piles and groups subjected to general loads and movements
Contains worked out examples to illustrate the analysis and design
Provides several problems for practice at the end of each chapter
Lecture materials for instructors available on the book's companion website
Foundation Design
is designed for graduate students in civil engineering and geotechnical engineering.
