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.
