About this book
The Design of Piled Foundations, Second Edition focuses on the theories which have been advanced to predict the loads which piles will carry, both singly and when used in groups to form a piled foundation. Organized into 12 chapters, this book begins with an explanation of the utilization of piles. Subsequent chapters discuss the types of piles and their construction; pile driving by vibration; the calculation of the ultimate bearing capacity of a pile from soil properties; the settlement of single piles and the choice of a factor of safety; and piles in soft soils. Other chapters describe pile testing; piles in groups with vertical loading; horizontal forces on piles and pile group; and the durability of piles.

Information
INTRODUCTION
3
Units
of
measurement
During
the
period
since
1967
the
Systeme
International
d'Unites
(for
which
the
abbreviation
is
SI)
has
been
introduced
into
Britain.
It
was
intended
by
British
Standards
Institution
that
the
change
from
Imperial
units
should
be
complete
by
the
end
of
1972
and
in
many
subjects
this
has
been
achieved.
The
use
of
SI
units
in
engineering
has
been
accepted
and
fostered
by
the
teaching
establishments
and
has
been
used
in
examina-
tions
by
the
council
of
Engineering
Institutions
since
1971.
It
is
the
official
system
of
British
Government
departments
and
has
come
to
be
used
in
most
design
offices.
In
consequence
this
book
is
based
on
SI
units.
Where
in
the
particular
context,
however,
the
dimensions
are
empirically
associated
with
one
set
of
units
these
are
used,
the
alternative
being
given
if
this
seems
appropriate.
