Publishing Date: 2005-07-01
Features: This book adopts the form of a comparison between old and new provisions of the "Code for Design of Building Foundation and Foundation Engineering," comprehensively introducing the main contents, differences between the newly revised code GB50007-2002 and the old code GBJ7-89, 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 comprehension, the book is written entirely in accordance with the structural format of the "Code for Design of Building Foundation and Foundation Engineering" GB50007-2002. Additionally, to enable readers to quickly grasp and apply the new code, brief introductions are provided for provisions with similar content or minor revisions between the old and new codes, while detailed explanations are given for provisions with significant revisions or new additions in the new code. Numerous examples of foundation and foundation engineering design calculations are included in each chapter, with many derived from actual engineering cases, enhancing the book's practicality and guidance.
