PROBLEM SOLVING IN FOUNDATION ENGINEERING USING...

This book is at once a supplement to traditional foundation engineering textbooks and an
independent problem-solving learning tool. The book is written primarily for university
students majoring in civil or construction engineering taking foundation analysis and design
courses to encourage them to solve design problems. Its main aim is to stimulate problem
solving capability and foster self-directed learning. It also explains the use of the
foundationPro software  available at no cost  and includes a set of foundation engineering
applications. Taking a unique approach  Dr. Yamin summarizes the general step-by-step procedure
to solve various foundation engineering problems  illustrates traditional applications of these
steps with longhand solutions  and presents the foundation Pro solutions. The special structure
of the book allows it to be used in undergraduate and graduate foundation design and analysis
courses in civil and construction engineering. The book stands as valuable resource for
students  faculty and practicing professional engineers.This book also:Maximizes reader
understanding of the basic principles of foundation engineering: shallow foundations on
homogeneous soils  single piles  single drilled shafts  and mechanically stabilized earth walls
(MSE)Examines bearing capacity and settlement analyses of shallow foundations considering
varying elastic moduli of soil and foundation rigidity  piles  and drilled shaftsExamines
internal and external stabilities of mechanically stabilized earth walls with varying
horizontal spacing between reinforcing strips with depthSummarizes the step-by-step procedure
needed to solve foundation engineering problems in an easy and systematic way including all
necessary equations and charts
