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.
