Foundation Analysis and Design Bowles

Foundation Analysis and Design Bowles for foundation settlement analysis

The Foundation Analysis and Design 5th edition book by Joseph E. Bowles is highly recommended for anyone who need best reference to cover substantial contents with software, revised equations and figures on subjects of sloping ground, pile and pile group analysis, and procedures for various materials. Yes, this book provides clearly explanation on how to analyze basic soil behavior and characteristics so we can make practical considerations of construction based on geotechnical parameters in order to choose right analysis techniques.
Foundation Analysis and Design book also introduces geotechnical and index properties of foundation sub-soils based on volume, density and other factors, affect properties. Therefore, the author provides concise steps and guides on how to make classification of soils based on methods and test using routine laboratory soil test to determine shear strength, sensitivity, stress paths, and elastic properties by using methods of exploration, sampling and measurement techniques.
There are several piles discussed in this Foundation Analysis and Design book when it comes to analyze foundation with static, dynamic capacity and lateral loading, timber, concrete and steel piles. Yes, this book provides guidelines to analyze pile capacity using transfer load to determine reliability and buckling characteristic based on static and dynamic formula.
As revised edition, Foundation Analysis and Design book includes new topic that discusses design method for footing using new techniques. All problems are designed to help you to get effective analysis that can be solved by using computer programs particularly using FEM, finite element method.
