Analysis, Design and Construction of Foundations outlines methods for analysis and
design of the construction of shallow and deep foundations with particular reference
to case studies in Hong Kong and China, as well as a discussion of the methods used
in other countries. It introduces the main approaches used by geotechnical and
structural engineers, and the precautions required for planning, design and
construction of foundation structures. Some computational methods and computer
programmes are reviewed to provide tools for performing a more realistic analysis of
foundation systems.
The authors examine in depth the methods used for constructing shallow foundations,
deep foundations, excavation and lateral support systems, slope stability analysis
and construction, and ground monitoring for proper site management. Some new and
innovative foundation construction methods are also introduced. It is illustrated
with case studies of failures and defects from actual construction projects. Some
advanced and modern theories are also covered in this book. This book is more
targeted towards the understanding of the basic behavior and the actual construction
of many geotechnical works, and this book is not dedicated to any design code or
specification, though Euro codes and Hong Kong code are also used in this book for
illustration. It is ideal for consulting geotechnical engineers, undergraduate and
postgraduate students.
