Pile Foundations, Volume 2 – Design and Construction

Pile Foundations: Design and Construction Volume Two consolidates guidance on the design and construction of pile foundations, integrating the latest Eurocode 7 provisions with established methodologies and advanced analysis of pile behaviour. The book offers practical coverage design techniques, testing methods, and interpretation of pile performance, supported by real-world case studies. It also incorporates analytical approaches informed by recent advances in piling research, bridging the gap between research and practice.

• Coverage includes
• soil investigation and parameter correlations for accurate design
• design approaches for axially and laterally loaded piles
• types of piles and installation techniques, including driven, bored, CFA and micropiles
• effects of pile installation and ground-borne vibrations
• advanced topics such as compensating pile foundations, piles in consolidating soils, and allowable pile eccentricity for deep basements
• durability considerations and solutions to construction problems
• static and dynamic load testing, wave equation analysis, and reuse of existing piles

Written by Yue Choong Kog, who has over 50 years of professional experience, Pile Foundations: Design and Construction is an essential reference for practising geotechnical engineers, consultants and contractors, and a valuable resource for postgraduate researchers advanced insight into pile foundation design and construction.
