520 |a Based on the expertise of a distinguished team of soil and foundation engineers, this handbook is the most complete and authoritative reference on the construction and repair of structural foundations available anywhere. It provides exclusive coverage of site development, structural failures, and foundation repair for residential and light commercial buildings, as well as for high-rise buildings and other types of heavy construction. Practical examples help clarify in-depth discussions of soil mechanics; stress distribution and settlement; bearing capacity of shallow foundations, piers, and piles; concrete mix properties; and earth pressure and retaining systems. The book also addresses important legal and insurance concerns.
