This book presents guidance for selecting and designing
foundations for buildings and facilities of all types and associated features for buildings
such as earth embankments and slopes, retaining structures, and machinery
foundations. Foundations for hydraulic structures are not included; however,
foundations design methods for piers, wharves and waterfront structures are covered.
Foundation design differs considerably from design of other elements of a structure
because of the interaction between the structure and the supporting medium (soil and
rock). The soil and rock medium are highly variable as compared to steel and concrete
products above the soil; therefore, much attention is given to presenting subsurface
investigation methods to better determine the properties of the soil and rock. The
seismic aspects of foundation design are presented in detail.
