Description

Foundation Analysis and Design: Innovative Methods covers recent advances in the research and construction of shallow foundations, pile foundations and limit state design. This Geotechnical Special Publication contains 44 technical papers that were presented at the GeoShanghai Conference held in Shanghai, China from June 6-8, 2006. The book begins with a keynote paper by Professor Harry Poulos, which summarizes recent advances in the settlement of pile groups. The next section contains fifteen papers which address statistical applications and the use of limit state design for foundations. The third section contains 25 papers on deep foundations that describe a series of advances in the estimation of pile capacity and pile installation issues. The final section includes three papers that focus on advances in the estimation of settlement associated with shallow foundations.
