This second edition of Reese and Van Impe's book has been
extensively revised to be compatible in the classroom setting. New
features include homework problems with solution aides presented by
the student version of the software as well as new case studies and
updated existing case studies that agree with modern methods of
characterizing soil properties. The thrust of the book is a
detailed presentation of methods of analysis for single piles and
groups of piles under lateral loading. The method makes use of
load-transfer functions that are based heavily on testing results
of full-scale, heavily instrumented piles under carefully
controlled lateral loading, coupled with the use of soil-structured
interaction mechanics. This method is validated by comparing the
results from the method of analysis with experimental results from
case studies of un-instrumented piles. The book specifically
addresses the analysis of piles of varying stiffness installed into
soils with a variety of characteristics, accounting for the axial
load at the top of the pile and for the rotational restraint of the
pile head, possibly nonlinear, offered by the connection to the
superstructure. The text provides example designs as well as the
design of pile foundations that support an offshore platform. The
book also includes references to a rich body of technical material,
including citations of hundreds of relevant publications. The user
may find the material on pile groups under lateral loading to be
particularly helpful. The method begins with the loading at the
foundation origin and makes use of nonlinear pile-head functions
for the lateral load, the axial load, and the moment, taking
pile-soil-pile interaction into account. For two-dimensional cases,
the rotation and displacement of the foundation origin is computed
to achieve equilibrium, and the resulting pile-head loading may be
computed. Results for different loadings can also be readily
calculated to seek t
