      abstract = {This book is at once a supplement to traditional  foundation engineering textbooks and an independent  problem-solving learning tool. The book is written  primarily for university students majoring in civil or  construction engineering taking foundation analysis and  design courses to encourage them to solve design problems.  Its main aim is to stimulate problem solving capability and  foster self-directed learning. It also explains the use of  the foundationPro software, available at no cost, and  includes a set of foundation engineering applications.  Taking a unique approach, Dr. Yamin summarizes the general  step-by-step procedure to solve various foundation  engineering problems, illustrates traditional applications  of these steps with longhand solutions, and presents the  foundationPro solutions. The special structure of the book  allows it to be used in undergraduate and graduate  foundation design and analysis courses in civil and  construction engineering. The book stands as valuable  resource for students, faculty, and practicing professional  engineers. This book also: Maximizes reader understanding  of the basic principles of foundation engineering: shallow  foundations on homogeneous soils, single piles, single  drilled shafts, and mechanically stabilized earth walls  (MSE) Examines bearing capacity and settlement analyses of  shallow foundations considering varying elastic moduli of  soil and foundation rigidity, piles, and drilled shafts  Examines internal and external stabilities of mechanically  stabilized earth walls with varying horizontal spacing  between reinforcing strips with depth Summarizes the  step-by-step procedure needed to solve foundation  engineering problems in an easy and systematic way  including all necessary equations and charts .},
