The behavior of the ground is crucial to the stability of structures during earthquake conditions. Our understanding of this behavior depends on a knowledge of soil dynamics and the deformation of soils during these catastrophic events. This book provides a comprehensive study of this subject, presenting much of the valuable material accumulated by Japanese researchers […]

Foundation Design discusses fundamental concepts in the design of foundations. As with the author’s previous work, the AJ Handbook of Building Structure, the emphasis is on practical matters and, while every architect may not aspire to more complicated designs, with the aid of this book he will be able to talk with more authority to

This fifth edition continues the format of the previous four editions for providing currentstate-of-art (SOA) and state-of-practice (SOP) methods in Foundation Engineering. Fromauthor-user interaction I have concluded that SOP tends to lag SOA on the average of about10 years. There is a range, however, where a few larger organizations are at the cutting edgeof technology

The emerging design methodology Reliability-Based Design has become today’s norm in Japanese structural design codes and will soon be included in the international standard codes. To meet this trend, methods for the design and construction of deep foundations have made large advances. As deep foundation construction is one of the most important and applied executions

This is the first book on the market focusing specifically on the topic of geotechnical earthquake engineering. The book draws from the fields of seismology and structural engineering to present a broad, interdiciplinary view of the fundamental concepts in seismology, geotechnical engineering, and structural engineering.

Foundation Design and Construction has long been established worldwide as the most comprehensive and authoritative guide to the subject for both the practising and student engineer. The sixth edition has undergone major revision in line with current practices and recent research. The book firstly introduces the basic theory and then, by means of case studies,

Geotechnical Engineering Calculations Manual offers geotechnical, civil and structural engineers a concise, easy-to-understand approach the formulas and calculation methods used in of soil and geotechnical engineering. A one stop guide to the foundation design, pile foundation design, earth retaining structures, soil stabilization techniques and computer software, this book places calculations for almost all aspects of

The investigation phase is the most important segment of any geotechnical study. Using the correct methods and properly interpreting the results are critical to a successful investigation. Comprising chapters from the second edition of the revered Geotechnical Engineering Investigation Handbook, Geotechnical Investigation Methods offers clear, concise, and hands-on guidance for choosing and executing a variety

A must have reference for any engineer involved with foundations, piers, and retaining walls, this remarkably comprehensive volume illustrates soil characteristic concepts with examples that detail a wealth of practical considerations, It covers the latest developments in the design of drilled pier foundations and mechanically stabilized earth retaining wall and explores a pioneering approach for

The Institute of Engineering & Ocean Technology (IEOT), of Oil and Natural Gas Corporation Limited (ONGC) is happy to present the proceedings of GEOSHORE International Conference on Offshore and Nearshore Geotechnical Engineering, organized jointly with Norwegian Geotechnical Institute (NGI), Norway under the aegis of Oil and Natural Gas Corporation Limited (ONGC) and International Society for

Pile Foundation Analysis and Design_H[1]. G. Poulos & E. H. Davis_1980

The aim of these recommendations is to harmonize and further develop the methods according to which excavations are designed, calculated and carried out. Since 1980, these have been drawn up by the working group for excavations of the German Society for Geotechnics (Deutsche Gesellschaft für Geotechnik) under the name EAB and are similar to a

One of the best-known and most respected books on geotechnical engineering, this updated version features expanded coverage of vibration problems, mechanics of drainage, passive earth pressure and consolidation. In the years since publication of the past editions there has been a proliferation of soil mechanics research, much of it irrelevant to engineering practice. It is
