本书是根据美国Joseph E.Bowles所著的《Foundation Analysis And Design》一书的第5版缩编而成。原书正文共分为20章。其中,属于土力学,专节介绍计算机程序运用和与我国高等院校《基础工程》教材内容无关或关系不大的内容皆被删除,本书保留了11章。在内容编排上,保持了原版书的风格并与我国高等院校通用的《基础工程》教材内容保持一致。因此,可作为高等院校土木工程以及相关专业本科生,研究生《基础工程》双语教材,亦可供从事基础工程设计、估价、管理、研究的专业人员参考使用。
本书承续前4版的风格,提供了目前有关基础工程工艺(SOA)和实践(SOP)的若干方法,包括*新的基础工程设计与分析的方法;不仅注意理论知识的阐述、紧密结合实际工程的设计与分析,而且强调了计算机和有限元法(FEM)在基础工程中的应用和工程实践中的普及。
