Pile Design and Construction Practice

Why is it essential to know details about principles and theories of pile foundation design for civil, geotechnical engineers, geologists and practitioners in construction practices? Because the knowledge of pile design when it comes to implement all pile design projects such as steel, concretes, timber and walls, including for construction of marine buildings.

There are various considerations and analytical methods included to transform economical perspectives in all construction for variety of environmental ground conditions in order to get efficient and effective building. This Pile Design and Construction Practice book deals with related aspects and issues of pile foundation design so the readers know how to predict and determine movements and force of piles under loads.

The authors, Michael J. Tomlinson and John Woodward include general principles and practices of pile design from how to calculate load capacity and compressive uplift and lateral loading based on international building codes to procedures for implementing pile installation for all types of piles: micro-piles, composite and replacement piles.

This Pile Foundation Design and Construction Practice book also includes latest techniques and methods in practices of pile foundation design for marine structures including offshore platforms based on standard construction codes: Eurocode7, BS 8004 and BS 6349 on maritime structures . Worked problems, figures and charts are designed to help readers how to solve all pile design problems in various conditions of loads.
