Description
This book describes the different foundation systems in use, and how a system is selected to meet particular objectives, on a regional and a site-specific basis. The importance of long term costs and benefits of each is discussed, and common construction and design oversights are presented. Information is discussed from the viewpoint of engineers and contractors, and it is aimed at foundation engineers, construction and civil engineers.
