Proceedings of a session on foundations at the ASCE National Convention, held in Nashville, Tennessee, May 9, 1988. Sponsored by the Geotechnical Engineering Division of ASCE. This Geotechnical Special Publication contains seven papers on theoretical and experimental developments on foundation analysis, design, and construction. The papers were written by both researchers and practitioners. Topics include: the development of a nonlinear model for prediction of movement of drilled shafts in expansive clay; new techniques for lime stabilization of expansive clay for foundation construction; evaluation of soil improvement achieved by sand columns for foundation construction by means of plate load tests; uplift capacity of vertical multihelix and inclined plate anchors; bearing capacity and settlement characteristics of shallow foundations on granular trenches made in clay and with geoweb used as reinforcement in granular soil.
