Design and Performance of Mat Foundations
Also Known As:
The ACI SP-152:1995 standard is a comprehensive guide consisting of 10 technical papers written by distinguished international engineers. Spanning across 267 pages, this standard covers various topics related to mat foundations and their interaction with the superstructure.
The standard begins with an introduction to the state-of-the-art in mat foundation design and construction, written by E.J. Ulrich, Jr. It then delves into the interaction between mat foundations and the superstructure, as explained by P.V. Banavalkar. Additionally, the design of mat foundations as a soil-structure interaction problem is discussed by J.F. Horvilleur and V.B. Patel.
Other topics covered in the standard include subgrade reaction in mat foundation design, as elucidated by E.J. Ulrich, Jr., and subgrade modeling for mat foundations. The latter is explored through a review and critique of analytical methods by J.S. Horvath. The standard also contains in-depth discussions on foundations for tall buildings, mass concrete pour techniques, geotechnical-structural interaction, and large mats on deep compressible soils.
The standard concludes with SI (Metric) tables and an index, making it a valuable resource for engineers and professionals involved in the design and performance of mat foundations. The range of topics covered in this standard reflects the progress and current technologies in the field, making it essential for anyone seeking a comprehensive understanding of the subject matter.
