Foundation design and construction【M】Hong Kong SAR.pdf

This publication is a reference document that presents a review of the principles and practice related to design and construction of foundation, with specific reference to ground conditions in Hong Kong. The information given in the publication should facilitate the use of modern methods and knowledge in foundation engineering. The Geotechnical Engineering Office published in 1996 a reference document (GEO Publication No. 1/96) on pile design and construction with a Hong Kong perspective. In recent years, there has been a growing emphasis on the use of rational design methods in foundation engineering. Many high-quality instrumented pile loading tests were conducted, which had resulted in better understanding of pile behaviour and more economic foundation solutions. The Geotechnical Engineering Office sees the need to revise the publication to consolidate the experience gained and improvement made in the practice of foundation design and construction. The scope of the publication is also expanded to cover the key design aspects for shallow foundations, in response to the request of the practitioners. Hence, a new publication title is used. The preparation of this publication is under the overall direction of a Working Group. The membership of the Working Group, given on the next page, includes representatives from relevant government departments, the Hong Kong Institution of Engineers and the Hong Kong Construction Association. Copies of a draft version of this document were circulated to local professional bodies, consulting engineers, contractors, academics,government departments and renowned overseas experts in the field of foundation engineering. Many individuals and organisations made very useful comments, many of which have been adopted in finalising this document. Their contributions are gratefully acknowledged. The data available to us from instrumented pile loading tests in Hong Kong are collated in this publication. Practitioners are encouraged to help expand this pile database by continuing to provide us with raw data from local instrumented pile loading tests. The data can be sent to Chief Geotechnical Engineer/Standards and Testing。本书是中国香港特别行政区土木工程署岩土工程办公室出版的关于基础设计和施工的书籍，是对香港地区的岩土工程实践的总结提炼，可作为基础工程专业人士的参考。
