* First new edition in over 12 years* Updated to cover changes to British Standards, plus new guidelines on ground contamination.* This book concentrates on structural foundations - other books deal primarily with soil mechanics or civil engineering foundations (e.g. dams)* Helps the designer make the right choice of foundation with the more economic solution - many foundations are “over-designed”* Includes a broad range of step-by-step worked examples* 'an excellent reference and one of the greatest strengths is the extensive practical experience from Curtins' - The Structural Engineer
This major reference work deals with the whole of structural foundation design from a practical engineering viewpoint. It draws on many years' experience in the authors' firm and covers foundation design and construction techniques for both straightforward and difficult sites, such as reclaimed land. It is highly illustrated and features step-by-step worked examples.The Second Edition, the first in 12 years, covers changes to British Standards and new guidelines on ground contamination.
