Pile Design and Construction Rules of Thumb presents Geotechnical
and Civil Engineers a comprehensive coverage of Pile Foundation
related theory and practice. Based on the author's experience as a
PE, the book brings concise theory and extensive calculations,
examples and case studies that can be easily applied by
professional in their day-to-day challenges. In its first part, the
book covers the fundamentals of Pile Selection: Soil investigation,
condition, pile types and how to choose them. In the second part it
addresses the Design of Pile Foundations, including different types
of soils, pile groups, pile settlement and pile design in rock.
Next, the most extensive part covers Design Strategies and contains
chapters on loading analysis, load distribution, negative skin
friction, design for expansive soils, wave equation analysis,
batter piles, seismic analysis and the use of softwares for design
aid. The fourth part covers Construction Methods including hammers,
Inspection, cost estimation, load tests, offshore piling, beams and
caps. In this new and updated edition the author has incorporated
new pile designs such as helical, composite, wind turbine
monopiles, and spiral coil energy piles. All calculations have been
updated to most current materials characteristics and designs
available in the market. Also, new chapters on negative skin
friction, pile driving, and pile load testing have been added.
Practicing Geotechnical, and Civil Engineers will find in this book
an excellent handbook for frequent consult, benefiting from the
clear and direct calculations, examples, and cases. Civil
Engineering preparing for PE exams may benefit from the extensive
coverage of the subject.
