The primary focus of this book is on interfacing structural elements with the underlying soil, which is, in the author’s opinion, where the major focus of shallow foundation engineering lies.

Shallow Foundations Discussions and Problem Solving-Tharwat M. Baban
This book is intended primarily to introduce civil engineers, especially geotechnical engineers and all civil engineering students reading the specialist subjects of soil mechanics and geotechnical engineering, to the fundamental concepts and application of shallow foundation analysis and design. Also, the furnished material can be considered as an essential reference work for practicing civil engineers, consulting engineers and government authorities.

Advanced Reinforced Concrete Design - N Krishna Raju
The book presents the design of a variety of reinforced concrete structures like Continuous beams, Portal frames, Silos, Bunkers, Chimneys, Shells, Folded plates, Hyperbolic cooling towers, Trusses, Deep beams, Box culverts, Bridge deck systems.
The design of these advanced reinforced concrete structures conform to the revised Indian standard Code IS: 45-1978 and SI units have been adopted for all the design examples.

Design of Isolated Footings of Rectangular form using a New Model
In the design of reinforced concrete rectangular footings subject to axial load and flexure in two directions, there are different pressures in the four corners, these are exercised by soil. In this paper, a mathematical model is developed to take into account the real pressure of soil acting on the contact surface of the footings, these pressures are presented in terms of the mechanical elements (axial load, around moment the axis “X” and around moment the axis “Y”), when applying the load that must support said structural member.
The classical model takes into account only the maximum pressure of the soil for design of footings and it is considered uniform at all points of contact area of footing, i.e., that all the contact surface has the same pressure. Also a comparison is developed between the two models as shown in the results table. The data show that the classical model is larger than the model proposed. Therefore, normal practice to use the classic model will not be a recommended solution. Then the proposed model is the most appropriate, since it is more economic and also is adjusted to real conditions.

Design of Beam for Torsion
Torsion occurs appreciably in many structures, such as in the main girders of bridges, which are twisted by transverse beams or slabs. It occurs in buildings where the edge of a floor slab and its main beams are supported by a spandrel beam running between the exterior columns. This situation is shown in the Figure 1.1, where the floor beam acts as off-center load and tends to twist the spandrel beam laterally. Buildings in which the center of mass and center of rigidity do not coincide are called asymmetrical structures. In such structures earthquakes can cause dangerous torsional forces.
