This book explains the flexural analysis of plain raft foundations and related ground-bearing structures. It illustrates the basic principles of this difficult subject and includes many topics ranging from the distortion of an elastic half-space to the analysis and design of complex raft foundations using computer-based methods. It contains extensive numerical results, and examines the practical effects of soil-structure interaction by means of several case histories.
