Foundations and retaining structures – research and practice, H. Poulos

ABSTRACT: This paper presents a broad review of shallow and deep foundations and retaining structures and the most significant methods developed to predict their behaviour. Static and some cyclic loading effects are considered, but dynamic behaviour has been excluded. Emphasis has been placed on methods that have been validated or found to be reliable for use in engineering practice. These include some well-tried and tested methods and others that have been suggested and validated in recent times by geotechnical researchers. Recommendations are made about preferred methods of analysis as well as those whose use should be discontinued. In addition, some observations are made about the future directions that the design of foundations and retaining walls may take, as there are still many areas where uncertainty exists. Some of the latter have been identified.
