Features: This book consists of nine chapters, covering topics such as the engineering properties of foundation soil, soil classification, geotechnical engineering investigation for construction projects, foundation bearing capacity design, settlement calculation and control of buildings, shallow foundation design, box foundations and raft foundations for high-rise buildings, shallow foundation construction, and treatment and reinforcement of existing building foundations. It introduces the technical requirements of geotechnical engineering investigation for foundation design, advancements in geotechnical investigation techniques, and the application of investigation results. The book elaborates on the basic principles of foundation design and design methods, as well as their latest developments. It also discusses the current status and future development of shallow foundation construction technology. With both theoretical analysis and engineering experience summaries, this technical monograph integrates shallow foundation investigation, design, construction, and accident treatment. It serves as a reference for technical personnel engaged in architectural engineering, geotechnical engineering investigation, design, construction, and supervision. Additionally, it can be used as a training and review material for geotechnical engineers preparing for registration exams, as well as a teaching reference for civil engineering students.
