This manual represents the current state of practice in the application of permanent and temporary prestressed rock and soil anchors using high-strength prestressing steel. The recommendations provide practical guidance for the design, installation, and testing of grouted prestressed rock and soil anchors. These recommendations supersede the 1996 edition and include major revisions in the requirements for: -Corrosion protection; -Grouts and grouting activities; and -The use of epoxy-coated strand. Additionally, numerous changes were made to further enhance the understanding of anchor technology. This document is prepared by the PTI Committee for Prestressed Rock and Soil Anchors with input and review by the International Association of Foundation Drilling Anchored Earth Retention Committee.

"Settlement Calculation on High-Rise Buildings: Theory and Application" discusses, for the first time, the latest developments in settlement calculation theory and case studies including analysis and research results for more than thirty high-rise buildings with a height of 100m-420m. Rigorously reviewed, this book provides a number of useful methods and a unique practical perspective on settlement calculation of high-rise buildings. It covers soft soil constitutive model and computation parameters, the theory of soil stress and strain, and new methods of settlement calculation in super long pile and space-varying rigidity group piles, box(raft), pile-box(raft), diaphragm wall-pile-box(raft) and rock foundation on high-rise buildings. This book is a useful design and construction resource for scientists and engineers, as well as for professionals in structural mechanics and geotechnical engineering.

This uniquely exhaustive 2-volume compilation of problems encountered in the daily practice of soil mechanics and foundation engineering is a must for students and geotechnical engineers alike. It contains detailed solutions to more than 150 typical problems, clearly illustrated with numerous diagrams and drawings, and graded according to difficulty. All problems are real-life examples taken from the authors' own experience and covering the whole range of soil mechanics and foundation engineering sub-fields. For practising geotechnical and civil engineers, it is an invaluable guide and reference, while specialists in soil mechanics will find answers to problems which are rarely to be found in the technical literature.

"Soil mechanics is a pioneer science which has grown rapidly during the last two decades. Its introduction into this country - under this name, at least - is generally accredited to Dr. Karl Terzaghi and is considered to have occurred in 1925. With each year since that date soil mechanics has become more widely known, the number of soil mechanics laboratories has increased, more colleges have offered courses in this new subject, and practical applications of this science have become more numerous. The amount of existing soil mechanics literature has increased rapidly but textbooks and handboks have been slow to appear, probably because of the extensive scope of the subject. Books of a number of types on this subject are needed, and it is of considerable importance to distinguish between the various types, which include the handbook for the practicing engineer, the manual for the laboratory technician, the textbooks for college courses of undergraduate level and graduate level, and the advanced textbook for the specialist. It is probable that no book can serve more than one or two of these fields to best advantage. This book is written as a textbook for use in graduate courses, but it is presented in such form that by the omission of certain portions it can be used in undergraduate courses. Practicing engineers and specialists in soil engineering may find the book of interest and value but, primarily, it is written for the student. The basic aim of the book is the presentation of fundamentals rather than the furnishing of final answers to practical problems; nevertheless, the book aims to develop the reader's appreciation for the practical significance of the various subjects considered. I wish to acknowledge and to express appreciation for the privilege of including in this book material that is the work of three of my predecessors on the Soil Mechanics staff of the Massachusetts Institute of Technology...
