[request_ebook] Foundation Design: Principles and Practices (2nd Edition)

Description

Foundation Design: Principles and Practices, Second Edition is primarily intended for use as a textbook in undergraduate and graduate-level foundation engineering courses. This book covers the fundamentals of foundation engineering and the application of these principles to practical engineering problems. The second edition has been enhanced and revised extensively. Some of the outstanding features of the 2nd edition include:

• Integration with Coduto’s introductory text, Geotechnical Engineering: Principles and Practices,including consistent notation, terminology, analysis methods, and coordinated development of topics. This makes the transition from one course to another easier.
• Consideration of the geotechnical, structural, and construction engineering aspects of the design process, including emphasis on the roles of each discipline and the interrelationships between them.
• Frequent discussion of the sources and approximate magnitudes of uncertainties, along with comparisons of predicted and actual behavior.
• Use of both English and SI Units make it possible for those in other parts of the world to use the book.
• Integration of newly-developed Excel spreadsheets for foundation analysis and design.

Book Description
NEW - Expanded coverage of earth retaining structuresFeatures separate full chapters on cantilever walls and sheet pile walls. Teaches students how to design both kinds of retaining structures. NEW - A chapter on reliability-based design. Discusses LRFD as it effects both the structural and geotechnical aspects of design. Includes AASHTO load and resistance factors. NEW - Reorganized chapters on deep foundations. Provides more systematic coverage. NEW - Revised coverage of laterally loaded deep foundations. Provides more emphasis on p-y analyses. NEW - Expanded discussions of dynamic methods of deep foundation analysis. Explains the principles and uses of these methods, and includes newer methods, such as Statnamic tests. NEW - More emphasis on the differences between strength requirements and serviceability requirements. Makes the subject more consistent with LRFD design methodologies. NEW - Questions and practice problemsInterspersed throughout each chapter. Gives students the opportunity to practice the material before going on with the rest of the chapter. NEW - Coordinated coverageWith the text Geotechnical Engineering: Principles and Practices. Systematic coverage of topics with consistent notation and problem-solving methods. These items are reviewed in Chapters 3 and 4, so students who used another geotechnical engineering text can still use Foundation Design. A multidisciplinary approachIntegrates geotechnical, structural, and construction aspects of foundation engineering. Helps students understand the importance of all three areas, and how they impact each other. A strong presentation of basic principles and the underlying assumptions. Helps students develop an understanding of why foundations behave as they donot just cookbook formulas. Practical solutions to real design problems. Helps student understand how to apply principles of analysis and design. Frequent references to uncertainties and reliability issues. Helps students become familiar with the sources and approximate magnitude of error in analysis and design. Coverage of both geotechnical and structural issues. Helps students engaged in comprehensive design projectsespecially in completing the foundation design aspects of such projects. Carefully integrated use of computer softwareAccompanying software (available on the Prentice Hall http site) has been developed specifically for educational purposes. It is easy to use and is integrated with the text and homework problems. Once students have mastered the principles and can do the analysis by hand; the software helps them do homework more quickly and easily, and permits them to explore parametric studies that would be too cumbersome to do by hand. Extensive use of example problems. Illustrates the analysis and design techniques. Questions and Practice ProblemsIncludes numerical problem solving, definitions, and short essay questions. Comprehensive problems at the end of each chapter.   New to this EditionExpanded coverage of earth retaining structuresFeatures separate full chapters on cantilever walls and sheet pile walls.
