- This copy of the "Red Book" is an update of previous version that were commercially marketed. The text is now made available for free downloading from the author's personal web site, www.Fellenius.net. The author has appreciated receiving comments and questions triggered by the earlier versions of the book and hopes that this revised and expanded text will bring additional questions and suggestions. Not least welcome are those pointing out typos and mistakes in the text to correct in later updated versions. Moreover, the web site downloading link includes copies several technical articles that provide a wider treatment of the subject matters.
- The “Red Book” presents a background to conventional foundation analysis and design. The origin of the text is two-fold. First, it is a compendium of the contents of the courses in foundation design given by the author during his years as Professor at the University of Ottawa, Department of Civil Engineering.
Second, it serves as a background document to the software marketed by the author in collaboration with former students in UniSoft Ltd. The text is not intended to replace the much more comprehensive ‘standard’ textbooks, but rather to support and augment these in a few important areas, supplying methods applicable to practical cases handled daily by practicing engineers.
- The text concentrates on the static design for stationary foundation conditions, though the topic is not exhaustively treated. However, it does intend to present most of the basic material needed for a practicing engineer involved in routine geotechnical design, as well as provide the tools for an engineering student to approach and solve common geotechnical design problems. Indeed, the author makes the somewhat brazen claim that the text actually goes a good deal beyond what the average geotechnical engineer usually deals with in the course of an ordinary design practice.
- The text emphasizes two main aspects of geotechnical analysis, the use of effective stress analysis and the understanding that the vertical distribution of pore pressures in the field is fundamental to the relevance of any foundation design. Indeed, foundation design requires a solid understanding of the principally simple, but in reality very complex interaction of solid particles with the water and gas present in the pores, as well as an in-depth recognition of the principium of effective stress. To avoid the easily introduced errors of using buoyant unit weight, the author recommends to use the straight-forward method of calculating the effective stress from determining separately the total stress and pore pressure distributions, finding the effective stress distribution quite simply as a subtraction between the two. The method is useful for the student and the practicing engineer alike.
