Foundation Engineering gathers state-of-the-art knowledge of various experts who had worked and gained extensive experience in foundation engineering in tropical residual soils.

Features:

• Covers geology and formation of residual soils, site investigations, characterization and selection of parameters for foundation design, design of shallow and deep foundations which include driven piles, drilled shafts and caissons
• Includes design of piles in marginally-stable river banks, micro piles, Augeo pile, pile load and NDT, foundation failures and remedial works, and pile supported embankment
• Includes a country case study on engineering geology in relation to foundation engineering in Malaysia
