Pile Design and Construction Practice

This international piling handbook details current types of pile, piling equipment, and methods. It includes calculations of the resistance of piles to compressive loads, pile groups under compressive loading, piled foundations for resisting uplift and lateral loading, and the structural design of piles and pile groups. Marine structures, durability of piled foundations, ground investigations, and pile testing are also covered-with miscellaneous problems. This edition has been fully updated to apply the latest structural Eurocodes, along with active British Standards.
