This extended and revised second edition elaborates on techniques for the numerical analysis of beams, long strips, circular plates, and circular-cylindrical tanks resting on elastic foundations and on unyielding or elastic supports. Emphasis is placed on the simplicity of analysis, while maintaining the accuracy of results, and a large number of examples are included as illustration. Easy-to-use, fully-revised software is included which runs smoothly under current Windows operating systems. The applicability of the software is extended to analysis of laterally-loaded piles and bending analysis of retaining walls. A bonus suite of complementary software containing programmes for elastic-plastic soil-structure interaction analyses of beams or strips, laterally-loaded piles or sheet-piles, and long retaining walls is also included. This package of numerical techniques and software provides a powerful tool which renders design analysis of structures easy and time-efficient. Practising engineers will find this title invaluable, while postgraduate students and researchers working in soil-structure interaction will also find the book-software package very useful.

This book presents comprehensive outlines of elastic numerical analyses of beams, axisymetric plates, and circular-cylindrical tanks resting on elastic foundations and/or unyielding supports. The included software is based on the numerical techniques discussed in the book and constitutes a powerful tool, making the design analysis of the related structures very easy. Together, the book and software are of great practical use to engineers working in the design of beams, strips, circular plates, cylindrical tanks and silos, and also to postgraduate students and researchers with interest in this area of soil-structure interaction. Furthermore, the book will be a valuable resource in engineering education involving modern computer-based analysis techniques. Elastic foundations are modelled either as Winkler springs or elastic half-space continua (isotropic and cross-anisotropic). Applied solutions techniques incorporate a variant of the direct stiffness method and an energy-based finite difference approach.

The revision of this best-selling text for a junior/senior course in Foundation Analysis and Design now includes an IBM computer disk containing 16 compiled programs together with the data sets used to produce the output sheets, as well as new material on sloping ground, pile and pile group analysis, and procedures for an improved anlysis of lateral piles. Bearing capacity analysis has been substantially revised for footings with horizontal as well as vertical loads. Footing design for overturning now incorporates the use of the same uniform linear pressure concept used in ascertaining the bearing capacity. Increased emphasis is placed on geotextiles for retaining walls and soil nailing.
