Author: Editorial Committee of "Understanding and Application Examples of New and Old Codes for the Design of Building Foundation and Subgrade"
Publisher:
Publishing Date: July 1, 2005
Features: This book adopts the form of a comparison between the new and old provisions of the "Code for the Design of Building Foundation and Subgrade," comprehensively introducing the main contents of the newly revised code GB50007-2002 and the old code GBJ7-89, the differences between the new and old codes, as well as the additions, deletions, modifications, and supplements in the new code compared to the old one. The book systematically elaborates on the requirements of the new code provisions, the understanding and explanation of the provisions, and the practical application of design calculation formulas in the provisions, primarily based on the content of GB50007-2002. To suit reader needs, the book is written entirely in accordance with the structural format of the "Code for the Design of Building Foundation and Subgrade" GB50007-2002. Additionally, to enable readers to quickly grasp and apply the new code content, the book provides brief introductions for provisions with similar content or minor revisions between the new and old codes, while offering detailed explanations for provisions with significant revisions or new additions in the new code. Numerous foundation and subgrade design calculation examples are included in each chapter of the book, many of which are derived from actual engineering cases, enhancing the book's practicality and guidance.
