Features: This book is organized to meet the training objectives for civil engineering professionals in the 21st century, catering to the common needs of various civil engineering disciplines such as building construction, bridge engineering, road engineering, underground structures, and geotechnical engineering. It selects basic and essential content to adapt to and fulfill the teaching requirements of the merged civil engineering program. While systematically introducing the principles and methods of foundation engineering design, the book emphasizes the connection between theory and practice, striving to reflect content that has been tested through engineering practice and meets teaching standards. The book is divided into nine chapters: Introduction, Ground Models and Parameter Determination, Basic Principles of Shallow Foundation Design, Shallow Foundation Structural Design, Pile Foundations, Caisson Foundations, Foundation Pit Support, Ground Improvement, Special Soil Foundations, and Dynamic Machine Foundations.
In line with the characteristics of the foundation engineering discipline, the book systematically introduces the principles and methods of foundation engineering design while emphasizing the connection between theory and practice, striving to reflect content that has been tested through engineering practice and meets teaching standards. To facilitate student review and self-study, each chapter of the book also includes numerous examples, exercises, and thought-provoking questions.
