The volume is assembled in honor of Clyde N. Baker, Jr., P.E., S.E., Dist.M.ASCE. For more than 50 years Clyde Baker has made distinguished contributions to the advancement of foundation engineering, beginningwith the early Chicago high-rise buildings through to to the world's current record-setting skyscrapers. The invited papers were contributed by professors, researchers, practicing structural and geotechnical engineers, and contractors. In addition, six papers by Clyde Baker, including a paper based on his 2009 Terzaghi Lecture, are gathered in this book.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis book is a valuable source of information on the following topics:\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cul\u003e \u003cli\u003ehistorical reviews of land and offshore foundations work; \u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003efundamental and advanced foundation analytical procedures; \u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003efoundation design using in situ geotechnical measurements; \u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003edrilled shafts in soft and hard rock; \u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003efoundations in difficult soils and geologic conditions; \u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003edriven piles; \u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003efoundations for static and dynamic loads; \u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003etesting and long-term monitoring; and \u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003ecase histories.\u003c\/li\u003e \u003c\/ul\u003e \u003cp\u003eGeotechnical engineers, structural engineers, foundation specialists, academics, researchers, geotechnologists, construction engineers, superintendents, and inspectors will find something interesting and beneficial in this book. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"American Society of Civil Engineers","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47030233661680,"sku":"9780784410936","price":150.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"url":"https:\/\/shop-qa.barnesandnoble.com\/products\/9780784410936","provider":"Barnes \u0026 Noble (DEV)","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
