Features: This book is written in accordance with the teaching syllabus requirements of the civil engineering major, emphasizing fundamental concepts, principles, and methods, while also expanding the scope of civil engineering professional knowledge. Based on long-term teaching and engineering design experience, it is compiled according to the newly promulgated National Code for Design of Building Foundations and Subgrades (GB 50007—2002) and other updated design codes. The book primarily introduces engineering geological conditions and engineering geological surveys in civil engineering. It also focuses on the design calculation principles and methods of various types of foundation engineering, such as shallow foundations on natural subgrades and foundation structure analysis, raft foundations and box foundations, pile foundations, caisson foundations and pier foundations, diaphragm walls, foundations for dynamic machinery, and foundation engineering in seismic areas, as well as the principles and methods of subgrade treatment and foundation pit excavation and support engineering. With its broad coverage, the book is suitable for the basic engineering teaching requirements of civil engineering majors and related disciplines at undergraduate and junior college levels across different regions, categories, and levels. In addition to serving as a textbook for civil engineering majors, it can also be used as a required reading for candidates preparing for postgraduate studies in civil engineering and related fields, as well as a reference for surveyors, designers, and construction technicians in civil engineering.
