Covers properties of subsurface materials, types of foundations and methods of construction, selection of foundation type and basis for design, and design of foundations and earth-retaining structures.
Soils and Foundations for Architects and Engineers provides in-depth, yet simplified, information on the more commonly encountered aspects of soils mechanics and foundations. It also redefines and clarifies many frequently misunderstood aspects of soil mechanics and foundations such as the actual failure mode of footing due to excessive vertical or lateral pressure theory and the effect of groundwater.
The report consists of a collection of documents (Appendixes A-F) prepared during the period 1956 through 1959 which summarize the development of objectives and requirements pertinent to the military soil stabilization research activities. The collection includes memoranda, correspondence, and minutes of conferences which were concerned with the delineation of the broad project objectives in specific terms and measurable parameters to provide realistic guides for the development, evaluation, and design phases of the stabilization research program.
