Shallow Foundations and Soil Constitutive Laws (eBook, PDF)

• Format: PDF

Produktbeschreibung

This book offers a systematic treatment on the analysis of footings by using the constitutive relationships of the soil. It discusses the entire process, from determining the constitutive law of the soil to proportioning the footing based on the different soil situations encountered and includes information on footings located in seismic regions.

Dr. Swami Saran, Emeritus fellow (retd.) from the Department of Earthquake Engineering, Indian Institute of Technology, Roorkee, obtained Ph.D. in 1969 from the University of Roorkee. An established teacher, researcher and active consultant, he is the recipient of Khosla Research Awards (four times), IGS Awards (six times) including the prestigious Kuckulmann Award and also awards from I.S.E.T., I.S.T.E. and I.S.C.M.S. He has guided 29 Ph.D. Theses, 82 Masters Theses, published 204 research papers and 7 Books. Dr. Saran has initiated research work on reinforced soil, analysis of foundations using constitutive laws and displacement dependent static /seismic analysis of retaining walls. He has provided consultancy to more than 300 projects of national importance, including multistoried buildings, cement and tyre factories, thermal plants, machine foundations, towers and chimneys, bridges, oil storage tanks, historical monuments, ground improvement problems etc. He visited UK in 1974 under an exchange programme and AIT Bangkok as a Visiting Professor in 1987. He has also visited USA, Australia and Nepal to attend conferences. He is a member of several national and international professional bodies. A National Conference (NCFRS - 2007) was organized at IIT Roorkee to honor him. Considering his contribution, in 2011, Indian Geotechnical Society conferred Honorary Fellowship to him.
