Features: Surveying and foundation technology are important components of architectural design and construction quality. Compared to superstructure engineering, surveying and foundation engineering involves more uncertainties and presents greater design challenges. The potential causes of construction quality issues are often related to surveying and foundation engineering. Generally, technical personnel have a much shallower understanding of surveying and foundation engineering compared to superstructure engineering. This book addresses some of the difficulties that technical personnel have encountered in their understanding of surveying and foundation engineering in recent years. It provides a detailed description of the development and application of standards for surveying and foundation engineering, important technical concepts, quality responsibility and market behavior, technical management principles, soil classification and the preparation of bearing capacity tables, ground soil indicators for calculating bearing capacity and deformation, deep-width correction of bearing capacity, comparison of bearing capacity calculations between the "1974 Code" and the "1989 Code," the relationship between surveying results and bearing capacities of various foundation types, natural foundations, rigid pile composite foundations, settlement calculations for piles, static and dynamic load tests for foundation piles, and foundation pit support. These are some of the key technical issues in surveying and foundation engineering.
