Overview
Pile Foundations: Design and Construction, Volume Two focuses on the construction, installation and testing of pile foundations, providing practical guidance on the delivery of piling works and the challenges encountered on site. Combining research findings with extensive industry experience, it examines the factors that influence pile foundation performance during installation and throughout construction.
Coverage includes pile installation methods, the effects of pile installation on surrounding ground, ground-borne vibrations, and common construction problems associated with both driven and bored piles. The book also addresses specialist topics such as lateral ground movement and allowable pile eccentricity for pile groups supporting deep basements. Dedicated chapters examine static and dynamic pile load testing, wave equation analysis and the interpretation of test results, providing guidance on the assessment and verification of pile performance in practice.
This title forms the second volume of a two-volume work that brings together the principles of pile foundation design with the practical aspects of construction, installation and testing.
Written by an author with more than 50 years of professional experience, Pile Foundations: Design and Construction, Volume Two will be particularly valuable to geotechnical engineers, piling contractors, consultants and site practitioners responsible for the construction, testing and assessment of pile foundations. It will also serve as a useful reference for researchers and postgraduate students seeking a fuller understanding of pile installation and foundation performance in practice.
