Piled foundations are generally designed using empirical methods,
in particular the traditional capacity based approach on which the
majority of codes of practice are based. However in recent years
the analysis of pile groups and piled rafts has undergone
substantial development in the light of new research and the
mechanisms for the interactions between piles, soil and rafts or
caps have been largely clarified. Paradoxically, with relatively
large piled rafts it has been found that a design based on the
criterion of serviceability, with the limitation of absolute and/or
differential settlement, not only allows a more rational and
economical design, but is also simpler and more reliable than one
based on the traditional approach. This book provides an overview
of present design practice of piled foundations, under both
vertical and horizontal loads, and then a presentation of recent
advances in the analysis and design of piled rafts. Altogether it
forms a thorough guide to the design and analysis of efficient and
effective piled rafts, and it also serves as a useful design
handbook for traditional pile foundations.
