Civil construction encompasses a series of professionals who work together to ensure the precision and safety of buildings. This integration of different specialists makes it possible to create good structured projects to deal with the different types of subsoil and the complexity of materials provided for by Brazilian technical standards. Therefore, the more exposed the professional is to the extensive range of construction possibilities, the more robust their experience will be. In this context, Fundaçãos em Estacas was carefully designed to improve the training of Engineering students or professionals at the beginning of their careers. After 40 years of practical experience and academic and scientific experience of its authors, this work comes to the market to provide rich study material, presenting calculations and methods to deal with the variety of types of foundations and geotechnical conditions that can be encountered. Once understanding that larger works are generally supported on pile foundations, this book provides the main concepts for good design practice, the mechanisms of foundation behavior and their interaction with the structure, in addition to the most common calculation methods. The content presents the theory in a clear and objective way, and also applied in examples and exercises that reflect the routine of Civil Engineering.Fundações em Estacas therefore materializes the result of an important partnership between big names in the area, Bernadete Danziger and Francisco Lopes , and LTC Editora – GEN | National Editorial Group, committed to bringing theory and practice to teachers, students and professionals in the field.?
