S. V. Kameswara Rao covers the key aspects of the subject, including principles of testing, interpretation, analysis, soil-structure interaction modeling, construction guidelines, and applications to rational design. Rao presents a wide array of numerical methods used in analyses so that readers can employ and adapt them on their own. Throughout the book the emphasis is on practical application, training readers in actual design procedures using the latest codes and standards in use throughout the world. \u003cul\u003e \u003cli\u003ePresents updated design procedures in light of revised codes and standards, covering: \u003cul\u003e \u003cli\u003eAmerican Concrete Institute (ACI) codes\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eEurocode 7\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eOther British Standard-based codes including Indian codes\u003c\/li\u003e \u003c\/ul\u003e \u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eProvides background materials for easy understanding of the topics, such as: \u003cul\u003e \u003cli\u003eCode provisions for reinforced concrete\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003ePile design and construction\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eMachine foundations and construction practices\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eTests for obtaining the design parameters\u003c\/li\u003e \u003c\/ul\u003e \u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eFeatures subjects not covered in other foundation design texts: \u003cul\u003e \u003cli\u003eSoil-structure interaction approaches using analytical, numerical, and finite element methods\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eAnalysis and design of circular and annular foundations\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eAnalysis and design of piles and groups subjected to general loads and movements\u003c\/li\u003e \u003c\/ul\u003e \u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eContains worked out examples to illustrate the analysis and design\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eProvides several problems for practice at the end of each chapter\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eLecture materials for instructors available on the book's companion website\u003c\/li\u003e \u003c\/ul\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003ci\u003eFoundation Design\u003c\/i\u003e is designed for graduate students in civil engineering and geotechnical engineering.
