This is a concise, systematic and complete treatment of the design and construction of pile foundations. Discusses pile behavior under various loadings and types of piles and their installation, including consideration of soil parameters. It provides step-by-step design procedures for piles subject to vertical loading and pullout, lateral, inclined and eccentric loads, or dynamic loads, and for piles in permafrost. Also describes load test procedures and their interpretation and buckling of long, slender piles with and without supported length. The closing chapter presents case histories of prediction and performance of piles and pile groups. Includes numerous solved problems.

This review is from: Pile Foundations in Engineering Practice (Wiley Series in Geotechnical Engineering) (Hardcover)
I've used this book since being a student. One of the easiest books to follow. It comes with illustrative examples. The orgqanization of the book is great.

This review is from: Pile Foundations in Engineering Practice (Wiley Series in Geotechnical Engineering) (Hardcover)
It is an excellent book, mostly about the subject of horizontal loads and effects p-Y.Other cap. of great interest is the one of dynamic loads. The best!!!
