Foundations on Rock (2nd
edition)
by Duncan C. Wyllie
Foundations on Rock is an up-to-date, practical reference book describing current
engineering practice in the investigation, design and construction of foundations
on rock. The second edition of this successful book has been extensively updated.
The methods set out are readily applicable to high-rise buildings, bridges, dams,
docks and structures subject to uplift and overturning loads.
Foundations on Rock focuses on the effects of geology on the stability and settlement
of rock foundations. While the intact rock may be strong, defects such as faults,
joints and cavities, and the deterioration of the rock with time, will influence
foundation performance. The main topics covered are:
