1st Edition

Bases and Foundations of Building Under Reconstruction

By P.A. Konovalov Copyright 1998

    Translated from the Russian, this English edition of the text has been revised and updated. It covers such topics as: reasons for strengthening bases and foundations of buildings; behavioural features and foundations of in-service buildings; and stabilization of soils.
