ABOUT THE BOOK
One of the core roles of a practising
geotechnical engineer is to analyse and design foundations. This textbook for
advanced undergraduates and graduate students covers the analysis, design and
construction of shallow and deep foundations and retaining structures as well
as the stability analysis and mitigation of slopes. It progressively introduces
critical state soil mechanics and plasticity theories such as plastic limit
analysis and cavity expansion theories before leading into the theories of
foundation, lateral earth pressure and slope stability analysis. On the
engineering side, the book introduces construction and testing methods used in
current practice. Throughout it emphasizes the connection between theory and
practice. It prepares readers for the more sophisticated non-linear
elastic-plastic analysis in foundation engineering which is commonly used in
engineering practice, and serves too as a reference book for practising
engineers.
A companion website provides a series of Excel spreadsheet
programs to cover all examples included in the book, and PowerPoint lecture
slides and a solutions manual for lecturers. Using Excel, the relationships
between the input parameters and the design and analysis results can be seen.
Numerical values of complex equations can be calculated quickly. non-linearity
and optimization can be brought in more easily to employ functioned numerical
methods. And sophisticated methods can be seen in practice, such as p-y curve
for laterally loaded piles and flexible retaining structures, and methods of
slices for slope stability analysis.
