Description
All objects and structures transfer their load either directly or indirectly to the earth. The capacity of the earth to support such loads
depends on the strength and stability of the supporting soil or rock materials. Pile foundations are the part of a structure used to
carry and transfer the load of the structure to the bearing ground located at some depth below ground surface. There are many texts on
pile foundations. Generally, these books are complicated and difficult to understand. Easy to use and understand, this book covers virtually
every subject concerning pile design, featuring techniques that do not appear in other books on the subject. The book contains design
methods with real life examples on pin piles, bater piles, concrete piles, steel piles, timber piles, auger cast piles, underpinning
design, seismic pile design, negative skin friction and design of Bitumen coated piles for negative skin friction and many other subjects.
The book is packed with design examples, case studies and after construction scenarios are presented for the reader's benefits. This
book enables the reader to come away with a complete and comprehensive understanding of the issues related to the design, installation
and construction of piles.
Audience
Primary: Structural Design/Construction, Structural Engineering, Architectural/Architectural, Earthquake Engineers and Geotechnical Engineers
Secondary Market: Engineers who are studying for the PE examination, architects, construction managers, geologists, graduate and undergraduate
students and college professors.
