DESCRIPTION:
Overall review Steve Sert The book deserves a place in every geotechnical engineer's library. It covers practical aspects of geotechnical engineering reportedly obtained by the author during his 30+ years of experience. Deep foundations are especially well covered, with illustrations, photographs, and example calculations.Steve Sert, PhD, PE, GEPresident, Sert Consulting, Inc.
After receiving the Senator Fulbright scholarship, he completed his MSCE at the University of Connecticut and his PhD on Engineering Mechanics at Virginia Polytechnique Institute & State University. Ali Candogan has worked as technical & general manager, and executive director of ENR listed general and specialist foundation contractors for over 25 years before he started his consulting and teaching career in 2000. . He has participated in the technical and operational management of over 2
TAPFE is also intended to serve as a reference text for practicing civil engineers. It is intended for use in senior or graduate level courses to assist students to learn how the engineering concepts learned in previous courses is used in the practice of foundation engineering. TAPFE has been written to meet the need for a practice oriented text for students and smooth the transition from student to practicing engineer. Chpt 1 - Ground Investigation (Geophysical, Geological, Geotechnical Surveys & Lab Tests), Chpt 2 - Shallow Foundations (Bearing & Settlement Analysis, Classification), Chpt 3 - Deep Foundations (Load Bearing & Settlement Design, Load Testing, Integrity Testing), Chpt 4 - Driven Piles (Dynamic Formulas, Production, Installation, Hammers & Driving Accessories, Driven Cast-in-Situ Techniques), Chpt 5 - Bored & Mini Piles, Caissons & Cofferdams (Design, Production, Machinery, etc), Chpt 6 - Deep Excavations (Engineering concepts, Excavation Support Walls), Chpt 7 - Ground Anchors (Classification, Installation, Stressing, etc), Chpt 8 - Excavation Support
More than half of its 728 pages contain a visual presentation making it an easy-to-read Manual of Practice. Seniors and graduate students of civil engineering will also benefit highly from TAPFE, which introduces them to field practices on commonly used foundation engineering techniques. --Digital Dreams . With over 600 photos and illustrations, plus more than 90 tables, The Art and Practice of Foundation Engineering (TAPFE) is a must-have for all practicing geotechnical and civil engineers. The
