Preface:

This fifth edition continues the format of the previous four editions for providing current
state-of-art (SOA) and state-of-practice (SOP) methods in Foundation Engineering. From
author-user interaction I have concluded that SOP tends to lag SOA on the average of about
10 years. There is a range, however, where a few larger organizations are at the cutting edge
of technology and many—particularly the smaller firms—are at varying intermediate stages.
This textbook, which is also widely used as a practitioner's reference, includes SOP
material but with major emphasis on SOA. The latter is accomplished by including a mix
of practice, "how to," and latest suggested design/analysis methodology. This produces a
text compatible with the general goals of the American Society of Civil Engineers (ASCE)
and other professional organizations, which have determined that technical graduates have a
postgraduate period of only 5 to 7 years before obsolescence becomes a factor in their practice.
Design methods tend to vary between geographic regions, partly from instructors' influences
and partly because there are few "design absolutes." As a consequence it is necessary
to include the generally accepted alternative methods but to temper these with recommendations
and suggestions on their use. This allows the user access to regional differences and
provides "averaged" design results or the option to select the most appropriate alternative on
a site-specific basis. Although these comments may appear overly practice-oriented, the fact
is that the student must be aware of these real-world conflicts, geographical differences, and
alternatives so as to be productive upon graduation.
This book emphasizes computer methods and the Finite-Element Method (FEM), involving
matrix methods given in the previous editions, to reflect the widespread use of the
personal computer and of the FEM in practice. Be aware, however, that the finite-element
method does not have a unique definition. To some practitioners it is any mathematical representation
of the continua (beams, plates, or solids) using discrete (or finite) elements. To
other practitioners the FEM definition is reserved only for modeling the soil mass and the interfacing
structural elements—sometimes this is called "soil-structure interaction" modeling.
In this textbook the former definition is used, for it is the one that is most widely practiced
and given in most textbooks devoted solely to the FEM.
This textbook gives sufficient background theory for a FEM model so that the average
user should have little difficulty using this method for design/analysis of those types of soilstructure
interfacings used herein. It does make the modest assumption that most students at
the level of this textbook have been exposed to some FEM and matrix methodology in statics;
elementary structures; and the required university-level math courses. As a further aid there
are computer programs (already compiled on an accompanying diskette) so the user does not
have to become involved in FEM programming to use the methodology given.

Fifth edition (chapter 20 only) DESIGN OF FOUNDATIONS FOR VIBRATION CONTROLS

Foundation Analysis and Design
Author: Joseph E. Bowles | Edition: 5 | Year: 1995 |ISBN: 0079122477, 9780079122476

Foundation Analysis and Design - 5th Ed.

The revision of this best-selling text for a junior/senior course in Foundation Analysis and Design now includes an IBM computer disk containing 16 compiled programs together with the data sets used to produce the output sheets, as well as new material on sloping ground, pile and pile group analysis, and procedures for an improved analysis of lateral piles. Bearing capacity analysis has been substantially revised for footings with horizontal as well as vertical loads. Footing design for overturning now incorporates the use of the same uniform linear pressure concept used in ascertaining the bearing capacity. Increased emphasis is placed on geotextiles for retaining walls and soil nailing.

Hello I'm looking for this book anyone has this document?

last two links still valid. the rest could be so as well.

Could someone please re-post the dead link.
