Aimed at the non-expert involved in making decisions about foundations for low-rise buildings, this comprehensive study brings together BRE guidance on the subject into a single unified format and approach. Offers an overview of ground behaviour and geotechnics but focuses on shallow foundations for low-rise buildings. Covers regulations and legislation for foundations and contaminated land, types of ground, soil behaviour and ground assessment, foundation design and foundations on difficult ground, brownfield land and ground treatment. Also deals with foundation movement and damage, remedial treatment and underpinning and ancillary works. Includes illustrations, glossary of terms, references and index.
