Preface
The main purpose of this book is to stimulate problem-solving capability and foster self-directed learning in foundation engineering subject for civil and construction engineering students and practicing professionals. It also explains the use of the foundationPro software, available at no cost, and includes a set of foundation engineering applications. Reading this or any other textbook is not enough and cannot be sufficient to perform safe and economical designs of foundations as a considerable experience and judgment are required. The overall layout of the book chapters is as follows: first, to introduce the general idea behind the title of the chapter; second, to briefly discuss the theories and methodologies and to summarize the equations and charts needed in the chapter; third, to provide a step-by-step procedure on how to deal with design problems related to the title of the chapter; fourth, to induce a number of design problems and solve these problems by hand, and then using the foundationPro software; fifth, to present a number of suggested projects to allow the reader to practice the concepts learned in the chapter; and finally, to introduce a list of references and additional useful readings about that specific chapter.
