This book covers construction and design aspects of piling. The book contains design procedures usually not found in text books such as Bitumen coated pile design, batter pile design, seismic pile design etc. The book is aimed at both practicing Engineers, piling inspectors and university students. Specifications: 350 Pages, Binding: Hardcover, Trim Size: 8.5” X 11” Subjects Covered: Bitumen coated pile design for negative skin friction applications, Design of piles for seismic forces, Pile design in rock (Oriented rock coring, Rock mass classification, Q – System),Caisson design in rock, Batter pile design, Pile design for vibratory hammers, Frankie piles, Delta piles, Vibrex piles, Compressed base types, Pin pile design, Underpinning (Pier underpinning, Jack underpinning, Underpinning with driven piles), Mudjacking, Pile settlement computation, Pile construction issues (Obstructions, pile heave, re-driving, pile hammers), Pile integrity testing, Pile inspection process
Book Description
Editorial Reviews
Review
This book gives valuable information to practicing Geotechnical Engineers. Real life design examples are given for all types of piles. --Professor. Jay Meegoda, 2005
The book contains topics such as pile types, preservation of piles, pile hammers, pile heave, pile re-driving. --Dr. Prasanna Ratnaweera, 2005
The book contains code issues that would be a great help for many practicing Engineers. --Sam Schmidt, P.E, 2005

5.0 out of 5 stars
A must reference in professional engineer's library,

This review is from: Geotechnical Engineering, Pile Design and Construction Guide (Hardcover)
Wow. Mr. Rajapakse has written a down to earth solid book on deep foundations. It is very well illustrated with direct explanation of field procedures. Many design examples, case studies and after construction scenarios are presented for the reader's benefits. If you work in the design, construction or observation of pile foundations, then this is all inclusive reference that should be in your office today. Hope to see more books from this author soon!

~ This author has given his 100%, when he wrote this book. It is a gift to all Geotechnical Engineers (no matter where you live) who is working with piles. People taking GE, must have it.
~ Price is amazingly so low. ~ Book worth way much more than five star or my words.
