Combines a thorough theoretical presentation with the practical aspects of foundation design. The first three chapters offer a condensed version of the basic elements of soil mechanics. The remaining chapters deal with the design of diverse types of foundation components, retaining structures and site improvement. New topics include: drilled piers in rock, sheet-pile design graphs, underpinning, in place density test, and geoenvironmental improvements. Contains numerous photographs and example problems which demonstrate various procedures in problem solving. Includes several open-ended case studies representing actual data from the author's own projects.

Excellent coverage of foundation design,

This review is from: Geotechnical Engineering: Foundation Design (Paperback)
Professor Cernica has produced a great book. It goes deep into eccentric loadings of shallow foundations and does great illustration of lateral earth pressures and retaining wall design. This book continues with US customary units or fps and tries to show the practical engineering side of the analysis. It is well worth the price.

4.0 out of 5 stars
Excellent introductory book to the subject.,
By A Customer
This review is from: Geotechnical Engineering: Foundation Design (Paperback)
The presentation is not exhaustive but it is clear and very well presented. The summary of Soil Mechanics is short and straight. Well suited for undergrad and a first graduate course.
