An in-depth exploration of substructure analysis, this book covers soil exploration, laboratory testing, analysis, and structural design. The book reviews the engineering properties of soil, principles of soil exploration and limit state design, general design principles of foundations and earth pressures. It then discusses the analysis and design of shallow foundations, pile substructures, rigid and flexible retaining walls. It includes separate chapters on foundations in expansive soils, the design of foundations of transmission towers, and reinforced earth in retaining structures and ground improvement. A large number of illustrative examples and designs have been included in the text.
