Bearing capacity and settlement of footings and mats, covering both soil and rock bearing surfaces, how to pick design parameters out of field and laboratory data, and the construction issues that decide whether the design actually performs. Includes complete worked examples.

Federal Highway Administration

Pile type selection, static analysis of axial and lateral capacity, group effects, downdrag, and how driving criteria get set. Written from the position of someone who has to specify the pile and then stand there while it goes into the ground.

Federal Highway Administration

Runs from drilling tools and slurry construction through axial and lateral load design under LRFD, integrity testing and load test interpretation. Close to a thousand pages of construction detail and design procedure in a single volume.

Federal Highway Administration

A design handbook for shallow and deep foundations, excavations and earth retaining structures, plus embankments, dewatering and ground treatment. Presented as charts, procedures and tables you apply straight to a problem.

Naval Facilities Engineering Command

The design of reinforced soil structures: external and internal stability, reinforcement selection and layout, facing systems, drainage and the construction sequence. Covers both walls and steepened slopes, with design examples for each.
