The Design of Piled Foundations

Structures and Solid Body Mechanics

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.

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.
