Features: Based on the characteristics and requirements of deep foundations for high-rise and ultra-high-rise buildings, this book comprehensively investigates issues related to ground settlement, drawing on research by domestic and international experts and incorporating the author's design and construction experience. It presents several research findings by the author, including constitutive relations of foundation soil, ground stress calculation and deformation analysis, group pile effects and properties of long piles, various settlement calculation methods both domestically and internationally, the new National Code for Geotechnical Engineering in China, and extensive field data and analysis results from numerous projects (e.g., Shanghai Jin Mao Tower, Qingdao China Fortune Tower, etc.). The book is the first to consider the influence of deep foundation pit support structures on the settlement of three types of foundations for ultra-high-rise buildings: box raft foundations, friction pile box raft foundations, and end-bearing pile raft foundations, and proposes corresponding calculation methods. It is the first to introduce innovative design methods such as spatially variable stiffness group pile settlement, inclined stratified layer summation method, and the comprehensive influence coefficient method for box foundations on sandy ground. Splines are used to analyze the interaction among structures, foundations, and the ground. The book concludes with an outlook on settlement calculation research, further research topics, and suggestions. This book serves as a reference for science and technology personnel in construction engineering, civil engineering, and water conservancy engineering, as well as for faculty, students, and postgraduates in relevant fields at universities and colleges.
