Art of Foundation Engineering Practice (GSP 198) honours Clyde N. Baker,
Jr., P. E. S.E. Honorary Member of ASCE. For more than 50 years Clyde
Baker has made distinguished contributions to the advancement of
foundation engineering design, analysis, construction, and monitoring
starting with the early Chicago high-rise buildings up to the world's
current record-setting skyscrapers. It contains 38 technical papers
contributed by professors, researchers practicing structural and
geotechnical engineers, and contractors. This book is a valuable source
of information for: historical reviews of land and offshore foundations
work; fundamental and advanced foundation analytical procedures;
foundation design using in situ geotechnical measurements; drilled
shafts in soft and hard rock; foundations in difficult soils and
geologic conditions: driven piles; foundations for static and dynamic
loads; testing and long-term monitoring; and case histories. It also
includes a paper by Mr. Baker based on his 2009 Terzaghi Lecture.
Geotechnical engineers, structural engineers, foundation specialists,
academics, researchers, geotechnologists, construction engineers,
superintendents, and inspectors will find something interesting and
beneficial in this book.
