UFC 3-220-03FA Soils and Geology Procedures for Foundation Design of Buildings and Other Structures (Except Hydraulic Structures), Replaced by UFC 3-220-01

This manual presents guidance for selecting and designing foundations and associated features for buildings, retaining structures, and machinery. Foundations for hydraulic structures are not included. Foundation design differs considerably from design of other elements of a structure because of the interaction between the structure and the supporting medium (soil and/or rock).
