Synopsis Basics of Foundation Design by : Bengt Fellenius
The "Red Book" presents a background to conventional foundation analysis and design. The text is not intended to replace the much more comprehensive 'standard' textbooks, but rather to support and augment these in a few important areas, supplying methods applicable to practical cases handled daily by practising engineers and providing the basic soil mechanics background to those methods. It concentrates on the static design for stationary foundation conditions. Although the topic is far from exhaustively treated, it does intend to present most of the basic material needed for a practising engineer involved in routine geotechnical design, as well as provide the tools for an engineering student to approach and solve common geotechnical design problems.

Synopsis Handbook of Geotechnical Investigation and Design Tables by : Burt G. Look
This practical handbook of properties for soils and rock contains, in a concise tabular format, the key issues relevant to geotechnical investigations, assessments and designs in common practice. In addition, there are brief notes on the application of the tables. These data tables are compiled for experienced geotechnical professionals who require a reference document to access key information. There is an extensive database of correlations for different applications. The book should provide a useful bridge between soil and rock mechanics theory and its application to practical engineering solutions. The initial chapters deal with the planning of the geotechnical investigation, the classification of the soil and rock properties and some of the more used testing is then covered. Later chapters show the reliability and correlations that are used to convert that data in the interpretative and assessment phase of the project. The final chapters apply some of these concepts to geotechnical design. This book is intended primarily for practicing geotechnical engineers working in investigation, assessment and design, but should provide a useful supplement for postgraduate courses.

Synopsis Piles and Pile Foundations by : Carlo Viggiani
Piled foundations are generally designed using empirical methods, in particular the traditional capacity based approach on which the majority of codes of practice are based. However in recent years the analysis of pile groups and piled rafts has undergone substantial development in the light of new research and the mechanisms for the interactions b

Synopsis Geotechnical Engineering by : Ruwan Rajapakse
"The main objective of this book is to provide a comprehensive pile design and construction guide to practising geotechnical engineers. The book does not require any special technical knowledge other than basic mathematical skills. The first portion deals with construction aspects of piling. In this section, pile types, pile hammers, piling techniques, problems associated with piling work and cost considerations are discussed. Second portion of the book is devoted to pile design. Pile design in different soil conditions, pile groups, pile settlement, Bitumen coated pile design and lateral loading analysis were some of the subjects discussed. Almost all the chapters in the design section contain design examples. Design examples are provided to complement the theory and the designer should not follow the examples blindly during the design process"--Bookjacket

Synopsis Tall Building Foundation Design by : Harry G. Poulos
This book provides a comprehensive guide to the design of foundations for tall buildings. After a general review of the characteristics of tall buildings, various foundation options are discussed followed by the general principles of foundation design as applied to tall buildings. Considerable attention is paid to the methods of assessment of the geotechnical design parameters, as this is a critical component of the design process. A detailed treatment is then given to foundation design for various conditions, including ultimate stability, serviceability, ground movements, dynamic loadings and seismic loadings. Basement wall design is also addressed. The last part of the book deals with pile load testing and foundation performance measurement, and finally, the description of a number of case histories. A feature of the book is the emphasis it places on the various stages of foundation design: preliminary, detailed and final, and the presentation of a number of relevant methods of design associated with each stage.

Synopsis Precast concrete piles by : FIB – International Federation for Structural Concrete
This technical report covers all aspects of the uses of precast concrete piles - design, manufacture, transport, handling, pitching and driving. Both reinforced and prestressed concrete piles are dealt with and attention is paid to the use of both plan piles and those with enlarged toes. Although the report is a translation of parts of a set of three volumes prodduced in the Netherlands, those parts reproduced are internationally applicable. Special sections deal with the effects of pile driving on adjacent buildings and theor occupants - both as regards vibration and noise.
