I is intended to Serve as a text for the course on the Design of Substructures or Foundation Design feualy taught atthe postgraduate level. Since the book deals largely with design aspects Complicated and involved theoretical treatment is omitted. The background theories are however generally presented inthe form of concise formulae and chars. Since 1964 the author has been actively engaged in the teaching of Foundation Engineering at both graduate and postgraduate levels at the University of Roorkee (now renamed as IIT Roorkee). The course on Design of Substructures has been offered by the thor to postgraduate student for over twenty years. The author has also over thirty years fxperience in the practice of the art of foundation engineering during which he had the ‘pportunity to provide consultancy in sol exploration, analysis and design of foundations for Strctues like mutistoreyed buildings, thermal plants, cement factories, oil storage tanks, towers, chimneys ete. During this exercise, the author felt the need for a text coven comprehensively the basic aspects of geotechnical engineering, analysis and structural design fof foundations and retaining structures. An attempt has been made to fill this gap. The Spproach has been to deal with a topic in totality, starting ftom the inital stage of soil exploration and testing and ending with analysis and design, The methodology of design has been demonstrated through many ilustraive examples. Al the formulae, charts and examples aro given in SI unis ‘Some of the material included in this book has been drawn fom the works of oer authors. tngpite of sincere efforts, some contributions may not have been acknowledged ‘The author apologises for such omissions, Thanks are due to all the authors and publishers for their kind permission to reproduce tables, Sigues and equations “The author wishes to express his appreciation to Km, Seema Verma, Me.
