Product Description The Canadian Foundation Engineering Manual covers fundamental matters common to all aspects of foundation engineering, such as notation, definitions of terms and symbols and the classification of soil and rock. It also covers procedures used in subsurface exploration, a discussion of unusual site conditions, the particular problem of engineering of earthquake resistant design, and the principles of limit states design as applied to geotechnical engineering. The introduction of the limit states design is intended to make the design of foundation consistent with the design of superstructures as regulated in the National Building Code of Canada and related Canadian Standards Association (CSA) standards.
