Synopsis
Foundations of Structures: Practical guidance for building on soils
This engineering classic shows how to treat soils and rocks as the materials for substructures. It blends practical rules with fundamental principles to help readers plan safe, economical foundations for ordinary buildings and projects.
The book emphasizes usable methods: evaluating site conditions, choosing foundation types, and applying design ideas to real cases. It is especially helpful for engineers early in their careers who want to understand how to size and select approaches that match the site.
- How to assess soils, profiles, and loads so foundations fit the site
- Analysis and design concepts for spread footings, mats, and walls
- Approaches to piles, caissons, and other deep foundations
- Practical problem solving with a balance of safety, economy, and constructionability
