The correct understanding, design and analysis of foundations that support structures are fundamental to the safety of those structures. Witness the leaning tower of Pisa, which, if built a short distance from its present location, would have remained upright and have been just another safe structure!

With the introduction of more complex design codes, such as the Eurocodes in Europe, it is becoming increasingly necessary to use linear and non-linear numerical analysis in the design of foundations to model accurately the structure’s response to loading.

In order to allow designers, engineers, architects, researchers and clients to understand the advanced numerical techniques used in the analysis and design of foundations, and to guide them into safer, less expensive and longerlasting structural foundations, a wide range of world experts with knowledge in the latest advances in the design and analysis of foundations has been brought together, and their expertise presented in a clear and logical way.

The chapters in this book provide a review of state-of-the-art techniques for modeling foundations, using linear and non-linear numerical analysis, as they affect a range of infrastructure, civil engineering and structural engineering foundations. The use of these chapters will allow designers, engineers, architects, researchers and clients to understand the advanced numerical techniques used in the analysis and design of foundations, and to guide them into safer, less expensive and longer-lasting structural foundations.
