Overview

Details a complete 'how to' procedure for the design of shallow foundations commonly used with low-rise structures of today's building codes. This book offers a detailed presentation of both soils and structures, specifically as they relate to shallow foundations, emphasizing soil-structure interaction by matching particular soils, it includes a treatment of relevant soil properties and soil mechanics at shallow depths; for structures, it includes a summary of loads on foundations and deformations produced by such loads. The established and proven methods discussed in the book are applicable in the areas of architecture, construction, and engineering technology as well as civil engineering, and are intended for use by both students and practitioners. Design procedures apply to structures less than 65 feet high having a natural period of oscillation less than 0.90 seconds. Structural systems include low-rise diaphragm / shearpanel systems, braced frames, and rigid frames.
