Summary:
Foundation engineering is a branch of engineering that applies the principles of soil and rock mechanics for the design of the foundational elements of architectural structures. A foundation connects a structure with the ground and is responsible for the transference of the structural load to the ground for the stability of the structure. Some historic foundation designs are stone foundations, rubble trench foundations, pad stones and post in ground construction. Modern foundations can be either shallow or deep. Shallow foundations include spread footing and slab-on-grade foundation. Deep foundations include drilled shafts, Earth stabilized columns, impact-driven piles, etc. This book elucidates the concepts and innovative models around prospective developments with respect to foundation engineering. While understanding the long-term perspectives of the topics, the book makes an effort in highlighting their impact as a modern tool for the growth of the discipline. It aims to serve as a resource guide for students and experts alike and contribute to the growth of the discipline.
