Foundations and Earth Structures

Bearing capacity and settlement of footings and mats, covering both soil and rock bearing surfaces, how to pick design parameters out of field and laboratory data, and the construction issues that decide whether the design actually performs. Includes complete worked examples.

Federal Highway Administration

Pile type selection, static analysis of axial and lateral capacity, group effects, downdrag, and how driving criteria get set. Written from the position of someone who has to specify the pile and then stand there while it goes into the ground.

Federal Highway Administration

Runs from drilling tools and slurry construction through axial and lateral load design under LRFD, integrity testing and load test interpretation. Close to a thousand pages of construction detail and design procedure in a single volume.

Federal Highway Administration

The design of reinforced soil structures: external and internal stability, reinforcement selection and layout, facing systems, drainage and the construction sequence. Covers both walls and steepened slopes, with design examples for each.

Federal Highway Administration

Design and construction of tieback walls and anchored slopes: anchor types and capacity, load transfer, corrosion protection, testing and acceptance criteria. Includes design examples for anchored soldier pile walls and for slope stabilization.
