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
