Principles of Foundation Engineering

As civil or geotechnical engineering students and practicing engineers, you should know about the right concepts and principles of foundation engineering in order to get right analysis and design of such structures so they will perfectly transfer the load to earth or soil. The main principles of foundation engineering can be divided into two common types: shallow foundation and deep foundation. Shallow foundation includes embedded of such concreted material with certain wall and coloumn to transfer load into soil. Meanwhile, in deed foundation, load is transferred through upper weak layer such as helical piles and stronger layer, which the proportion of load is varied, depending on structural elements.

But how can we get right design to develop the superstructure and elevated to protect it from earthquake impact? You can learn further basic theories and concepts from Principles of Foundation Engineering book. This reference is addressed to help you to apply the theories into right application. The author also includes various worked out examples as evaluation material to get good foundation design.

The 6th edition of Principles of Foundation Engineering book is known as excellent resource for civil engineering students to improve their skill and knowledge of foundation engineering for better consideration and design methods while designing complex structures with certain load capacity, and settlement so failed condition will be prevented and great safety factor will be gained.
