This book presents computational tools and design principles for
piles used in a wide range of applications and for different
loading conditions. The chapters provide a mixture of basic
engineering solutions and latest research findings in a balanced
manner. The chapters are written by world-renowned experts in the
field. The materials are presented in a unified manner based on
both simplified and rigorous numerical methods. The first four
chapters present the basic elements and steps in analysis of piles
under static and cyclic loading together with clear references to
the appropriate design regulations in Eurocode 7 when relevant. The
analysis techniques cover conventional code-based methods,
solutions based on pile-soil interaction springs, and advanced 3D
finite element methods. The applications range from conventional
piles to large circular steel piles used as anchors or monopiles in
offshore applications. Chapters 5 to 10 are devoted to dynamic and
earthquake analyses and design. These chapters cover a range of
solutions from dynamic pile-soil springs to elasto-dynamic
solutions of large pile groups. Both linear and nonlinear soil
behaviours are considered along with response due to dynamic loads
and earthquake shaking including possible liquefaction. The book is
unique in its unified treatment of the solutions used for static
and dynamic analysis of piles with practical examples of
application. The book is considered a valuable tool for practicing
engineers, graduate students and researchers.
