Design Applications of Raft FoundationsJ. A. Hemsley This book examines alternative design procedures for plain and piled raft foundations. It explores the assumptions that are made in the analysis of soil - structure interaction, together with the associated calculation methods. The book gives many examples of project applications covering a wide range of structural forms and ground conditions. |
