Features: This book systematically elaborates on the fundamental theories of soil mechanics and common design methods for foundation foundations. It appropriately introduces the latest research findings in this field, and all terms, symbols, and formulas in the book are based on current standards. The book is divided into 10 chapters, including the physical properties and engineering classification of soil, stress calculation in foundation, compressibility of soil and foundation settlement calculation, shear strength of soil and foundation bearing capacity, slope engineering, foundation investigation and testing, shallow foundation design on natural foundation, pile foundation, treatment of soft soil foundation, and regional foundation. This book can be used as a teaching material for higher vocational colleges in the field of housing construction engineering and related civil engineering majors, and can also be used as a reference book for engineering design personnel and researchers in corresponding fields.
