Beschreibung
In Foundation Design: Theory and Practice, Professor N. S.V. Kameswara Rao covers the key aspects of the subject, includingprinciples of testing, interpretation, analysis, soil-structureinteraction modeling, construction guidelines, and applications torational design. Rao presents a wide array of numerical methodsused in analyses so that readers can employ and adapt them on theirown. Throughout the book the emphasis is on practical application,training readers in actual design procedures using the latest codesand standards in use throughout the world.
* Presents updated design procedures in light of revised codesand standards, covering:
* American Concrete Institute (ACI) codes
* Eurocode 7
* Other British Standard-based codes including Indian codes
* Provides background materials for easy understanding of thetopics, such as:
* Code provisions for reinforced concrete
* Pile design and construction
* Machine foundations and construction practices
* Tests for obtaining the design parameters
* Features subjects not covered in other foundation design texts:
* Soil-structure interaction approaches using analytical,numerical, and finite element methods
* Analysis and design of circular and annular foundations
* Analysis and design of piles and groups subjected to generalloads and movements
* Contains worked out examples to illustrate the analysis anddesign
* Provides several problems for practice at the end of eachchapter
* Lecture materials for instructors available on the book'scompanion website
Foundation Design is designed for graduate students incivil engineering and geotechnical engineering. The book is alsoideal for advanced undergraduate students, contractors, builders,developers, heavy machine manufacturers, and power plant engineers.Students in mechanical engineering will find the chapter on machinefoundations helpful for structural engineering applications.
