Synopsis

The book deals with the geotechnical analysis and design of foundation systems for high-rise buildings and other complex structures with a distinctive soil-structure interaction. The basics of the analysis of stability and serviceability, necessary soil investigations, important technical regulations and quality and safety assurance are explained and possibilities for optimised foundation systems are given. Additionally, special aspects of foundation systems such as geothermal activated foundation systems and the reuse of existing foundations are described and illustrated by examples from engineering practice.

Media Reviews

This book presents the theoretical basics of the analysis and design of most types of foundation systems for high-rise structures. Based on the authors' scientific research and extensive experience, it explains their application in completed construction projects. What's more, typical practical projects of high-rise structures have been provided by the authors at the end of each chapter.
