Publisher's Synopsis
This two-volume proceedings is a collection of 110 papers documenting current applied research and engineering experience in the subject area of deep foundations. It is a comprehensive resource for both researchers and practitioners covering driven, jacked, and augered piles and drilled shafts. Papers address the topics of geotechnical design, structural design, innovative construction, validation and verification of design and construction, soil-structure interaction, reliability-based design, field load testing for design, concepts for deep foundation systems (such as piled rafts), numerical and analytical modeling of pile foundations, design of foundations for extreme events, and numerous and varied case histories. Several papers also focus on the acquisition and use of geomaterial properties for deep foundation design and the use of deep foundations in walls.
