Model Uncertainties in Foundation Design
Article Type: Review
Samtani, N.C.
Abstract
The book focuses on providing a foundation designer information on the model factor and its statistics for conventional foundation types such as shallow foundations, driven piles, and drilled shafts as well as special foundations such as spudcans and helical piles. Besides foundations, the book also provides information for other geostructures such as mechanically stabilized earth (MSE) walls, soil nail walls, pipes and anchors, slopes, and braced excavations.
