Over the last few decades, the bearing capacity of shallowfoundations has been studied more thoroughly than any other subject in geotechnical engineering. Until now, however, most references on foundation engineering devoted only a single chapter to the subject. Shallow Foundations: Bearing Capacity and Settlement provides what many engineers have been waiting for-a concise, comprehensive reference containing all the relevant material on shallow foundation behavior under static and dynamic loads related to their ultimate bearing capacity, allowable bearing capacity, and settlement Booknews Das (California State University) compiles the relevant material on shallow foundation behavior under static and dynamic loads into one concise guide to shallow foundation bearing capacities and the effects of different soil types, slopes, settlement, reinforcement, and seismic activity. Coverage includes various theories on the estimation of the ultimate bearing capacity, estimation of the settlement of foundations, and reinforced soil. Intended for use as a reference book by university faculty members and graduate students in the area of geotechnical engineering as well as by consulting engineers. Annotation c.
