SHALLOW AND DEEP FOUNDATIONS IN GEOTECHNICAL ENGINEERING (Libro en papel)

de TORRIJO ECHARRI, FRANCISCO JAVIER

Sinopsis

The loads on structures and infrastructures as well as theirself-weight are as a set of forces that need to be always transmittedto the ground.This is achieved by means of a foundation,a systemcomposed of a structural transitional element and the support ground,being the latter the component which frequently controls thefoundation behavior.This Book includes a series of recommendations and concepts that can be useful in the phase of finding for a suitablefoundation solution, in their pre-design phase and in the ownfoundation design.The final selection of a foundation and its designwill require the use of the analytical and/or empirical methodsdiscussed in this text, dedicated to estimate the bearing capacity and the potential settlements of foundations.Thanks to this, the Readerwill have the necessary tools for his work as a Civil Engineerspecialized in shallow and deep foundations. The Book gathers thedifferent proposal of the main Spanish codes: "Código Técnico de laEdificación","Guía de Cimentaciones en Obras de Carretera" and ROM0.5.Other bibliography is also included which allow expanding theknowledge discussed here
