| 520 | _aShell foundations are economic alternatives to plain shallow foundations where heavy superstructural loads are to be transmitted to weaker soils. The book starts with geometrical features of shells which are potentially suited for foundations, followed by their geotechnical performance. Structural analysis covers 'membrane', 'bending' and 'ultimate strength' theories, leading to design, which features several design plates presented in a concise professional format. It also includes comparative cost analysis between shell and plain foundations. Construction also covers case histories from several parts of the world. The book closes with a chapter on research on shell foundations. | ||
