Correctly understanding, designing and analysing the foundations that support structures is fundamental to their safety. This book by a range of academic, design and contracting world experts provides a review of the state of the art techniques for modelling foundations using both linear and non linear numerical analysis. It applies to a range of infrastructure, civil engineering and structural engineering projects.Topics include: Ground vibrations caused by trainsPile-group effectsBearing capacity of shallow foundations under static and seismic conditionsBucket foundation technology for offshore oilfieldsSeismically induced liquefaction in earth embankment foundations and in pile foundationsFree vibrations of industrial chimneys and TV towers with flexibility of the soilSettlements of high rise structuresSeepage, stress fields and dynamic responses in damsSite investigation It allows designers, engineers, architects, researchers and clients to understand some of the advanced numerical techniques used in the analysis and design of foundations.
