A practical manual for engineers and students specializing in foundation systems. The text details the essential phases of geotechnical projects, beginning with thorough site investigations, literature reviews, and subsurface soil sampling. It provides a technical breakdown of soil behavior, distinguishing between the frictional strength of sands and the cohesive properties of clays to determine load-bearing capacities. The author evaluates various foundation types, such as shallow footings, mat
