Advanced Numerical Methods in Foundation Engineering

This book deals with the advanced analysis of the shallow foundations. Several research studies are considered including soil plasticity, cracking, reaching the soil bearing capacity, and creep. Dynamic analyses together with stability analysis are also included. It gives a wide range of dealing with the shallow foundations in different parts of the world.

Presents the direct discussions to the worldwide query in the geotechnical structures designs: how to simply simulate this problem? Discusses field experience through case studies Covers many areas in the MENA region Intends directly the practical engineers, who are of great interest in reading the interesting chapters
