Foundation Engineering Handbook
Foundation Engineering Handbook by Hsai-Yang Fang, published by Springer US on September 26, 2011, is a comprehensive resource that addresses the advancements in geotechnical engineering over the past decade. This edition, spanning 923 pages, explores the evolving applications of foundation engineering in response to increasing land demands and the utilization of previously unsuitable soil deposits for construction projects. The book highlights the need for innovative analysis, design, and implementation methods to tackle challenges posed by problematic soil regions, mining subsidence, and sanitary landfills.
Readers will find a thorough examination of the complexities involved in modern foundation construction, particularly as urban development accelerates and living standards rise. The text discusses the implications of heavy design loads and the necessity for improvements in traditional design concepts, materials, and construction methods. Additionally, it addresses the impact of recent energy and material shortages on the engineering profession, emphasizing the search for alternative and cost-effective solutions in foundation design and construction. This edition serves as a vital reference for professionals engaged in the fields of crafts, hobbies, home improvement, gardening, and landscape design.
Official synopsis Publisher
More than ten years have passed since the first edition was published. During that period there have been a substantial number of changes in geotechnical engineering, especially in the applications of foundation engineering. As the world population increases, more land is needed and many soil deposits previously deemed unsuitable for residential housing or other construction projects are now being used. Such areas include problematic soil regions, mining subsidence areas, and sanitary landfills. To overcome the problems associated with these natural or man-made soil deposits, new and improved methods of analysis, design, and implementation are needed in foundation construction. As society develops and living standards rise, tall buildings, transportation facilities, and industrial complexes are increasingly being built. Because of the heavy design loads and the complicated environments, the traditional design concepts, construction materials, methods, and equipment also need improvement. Further, recent energy and material shortages have caused additional burdens on the engineering profession and brought about the need to seek alternative or cost-saving methods for foundation design and construction.
