Theoretical Foundation Engineering provides in-depth reviews of the existing literature on lateral earth pressure, sheet pile walls, ultimate bearing capacity of shallow foundations, holding capacity of plate and helical anchors in sand and clay, and slope stability analysis. The discussion of the ultimate bearing capacity of shallow foundations is comprehensive, and the review of earth anchors is unique to this book. The treatment is primarily theoretical and does not compete with existing foundation design books. It will be welcomed as a useful reference by graduate students of geotechnical engineering, consultants in the field, as well as being a valuable addition to any civil engineering library. An unabridged J. Ross Publishing republication of the edition published by Elsevier Science Publishers B.V., Amsterdam, 1987, 440pp. About J. Ross Publishing Classics J. Ross Publishing Classics are world-renowned texts and monographs written by preeminent scholars. These books have been widely read, discussed, and cited in the literature since their inaugural publications but unavailable for some time to students, researchers, professionals, and libraries. J. Ross Publishing is proudly making these valuable references and texts available once again. ISBN 10: 1-932159-71-1

Key Features

  • To demonstrate the application of theoretical derivations, several worked-out problems are given in each chapter and in some instances the solutions to the problems are given
  • Detailed mathematical treatment is kept to a minimum
  • Profusely illustrated with charts, drawings, and illustrations to illuminate the problems and theory
