About the Book: Pile Design and Construction Practice
A guide book for engineering geologists and geotechnical engineers, Pile Design
and Construction Practice not only provides a knowledge base, but also gives
accurate schematics and calculations, including the resistance of piles to
compressive loads and the effects of compressive loading, a myriad of structural
designs for all contingencies, focusing on marine constructions and lateral
loading. It tackles problems on durability, machinery foundations, underpinning,
frozen ground and mining subsidence areas and is a detailed guide to pile
testing and ground investigations.
