Features: This book systematically elaborates on the fundamental principles of geotechnical engineering while also introducing numerous new technologies, processes, and experiences in geotechnical engineering both domestically and internationally. The book is divided into 10 chapters, including Introduction; Site Investigation, Testing, and Calculation; Shallow Foundations on Natural Ground; Pile Foundations; Caisson Foundations and Diaphragm Walls; Foundation Pit Engineering and Cofferdam Engineering; Retaining Walls and Slope Protection Engineering; Soft Ground Treatment; Special Ground Conditions; and Dynamic Machine Foundations and Seismic Design of Foundations. During the writing process, the book referred to the newly revised "Code for Design of Building Foundations" (GB50007-2002), "Code for Seismic Design of Buildings" (GB50011-2001), and "Code for Design of Concrete Structures" (GB50010-2002) and other relevant codes. Considering the practical requirements of teaching and engineering design, the book is organized according to the teaching system, with reasonable time allocation for each chapter. The content is concise and to the point, with a strong focus on key points. To help readers grasp the fundamental theories presented in the book, numerous typical examples are included. This book can serve as a textbook for undergraduate and in-service engineering training programs in civil engineering, highway, railway, geology, metallurgy, petroleum, agriculture, forestry, and related fields. It can also be used as a reference for technical personnel engaged in engineering investigation, design, and construction.
