Pile Foundations, Volume 2 : Design and Construction

Pile Foundations: Design and Construction Volume Two consolidates guidance on the design and construction of pile foundations, integrating the latest Eurocode 7 provisions with established methodologies and advanced analysis of pile behaviour. The book offers practical coverage design techniques, testing methods, and interpretation of pile performance, supported by real-world case studies. It also incorporates analytical approaches informed by recent advances in piling research, bridging the gap between research and practice. Coverage includes soil investigation and parameter correlations for accurate design design approaches for axially and laterally loaded piles types of piles and installation techniques, including driven, bored, CFA and micropiles effects of pile installation and ground-borne vibrations advanced topics such as compensating pile foundations, piles in consolidating soils, and allowable pile eccentricity for deep basements durability considerations and solutions to construction problems static and dynamic load testing, wave equation analysis, and reuse of existing piles Written by Yue Choong Kog, who has over 50 years of professional experience, Pile Foundations: Design and Construction is an essential reference for practising geotechnical engineers, consultants and contractors, and a valuable resource for postgraduate researchers advanced insight into pile foundation design and construction.
