Reddit reviews Foundation Analysis and Design

Well,

I'd suggest using Bowles' Foundation Analysis and Design [https://www.amazon.com/Foundation-Analysis-Design-Joseph-Bowles/dp/0071188444]

or Codutos' "Foundation design: principles and practices"
[https://www.amazon.com/Foundation-Design-Principles-Practices-3rd/dp/0133411893]


Hmm I can only testify for the first one as I own it and it's quite large and if you feel like reading +1000 pages to get a good grasp of foundation engineering, I'd go for that one.

Coduto's I haven't read, but I did read fully his geotech engineering: principles and practice. It's very light read, with examples and he talks about the main points. No formula derivations or any fancy mathematical work [which I don't mind in the sense that it's more about practical example that you can easily apply to your work, than doing theoretical models that in real life are too impractical and time consuming to be used.]
