Introduction -- Practical Models and Parameters for Settlement Calculation of Deep Foundation of Super High-Rise Buildings on Soft Subgrade -- Mechanics in the Study on Deep Foundation Settlement of Super High-Rise Buildings -- Theoretical Analysis of Subgrade Deformation of Deep Foundations of Super High-Rise Buildings -- Settlement Calculation Methods and Case Studies of Box and Raft Foundations of Super High-Rise Buildings -- Research on Settlement Calculation Method of Super-Long Pile Foundation -- New Design Method for Space-Varying Rigidity Pile Group with Equal Settlement -- Settlement Analysis and Case Study of Diaphragm Wall and Friction Pile-Box (Raft) Foundation on Super High-Rise Building -- Settlement Analysis and Case Study on Rock Foundation and Combined Diaphragm Wall-end-Bearing Pile-box (raft) Foundation -- Forecast and Suggestion of Research on Settlement Calculation.

"Settlement Calculation on High-Rise Buildings: Theory and Application" discusses, for the first time, the latest developments in settlement calculation theory and case studies including analysis and research results for more than thirty high-rise buildings with a height of 100m-420m. Rigorously reviewed, this book provides a number of useful methods and a unique practical perspective on settlement calculation of high-rise buildings. It covers soft soil constitutive model and computation parameters, the theory of soil stress and strain, and new methods of settlement calculation in super long pile and space-varying rigidity group piles, box(raft), pile-box(raft), diaphragm wall-pile-box(raft) and rock foundation on high-rise buildings. This book is a useful design and construction resource for scientists and engineers, as well as for professionals in structural mechanics and geotechnical engineering.
