Opis

This text seeks to minimize complicated theories, break through the imprecisions in the properties of soil, and present principles that simplify analysis and lead to designs of higher performance and safety. With knowledge built on experience, experimentation and sound principles, the authors guide readers through the analysis and design processes. They use examples based on actual buried structures and analyze a variety of pipe-soil interaction problems.
