Overview
Advanced foundation design and analysis covers the analysis and design of shallow foundations under combined loading, pile foundations under vertical, lateral loading and combined loading as well as ground movement. This topic also covers the analysis of piles used to increase slope stability, foundations in rocks and intermediate geomaterials, foundations … For more content click the Read More button below.
