This latest edition of Pile Design and Construction Practice, written to Eurocode 7 and the UK National Annex, has been updated to reflect the current usage of Eurocode 7, along with relevant parts of the British Standards, Pile Design and Construction Practice, Sixth Edition. Maintaining the empirical correlations of the original, the book combines practical know-how with scientific knowledge and emphasizes relevant principles and applications of soil mechanics and design. Contractors, geotechnical engineers, and engineering geologists responsible for designing and constructing piled foundations can find the most current types of piles, piling equipment, and relevant methods in this comprehensive work.

The book summarizes recent changes, including new codified design procedures addressing design parameters and partial safety factors. It also presents several examples, many based on actual problems.

Broad and Comprehensive in Its Coverage:

The book contains material applicable to modern computational practice.

Provides new sections on the construction of micropiles and CFA piles, pile-soil interaction, verification of pile materials, piling for integral bridge abutments, use of polymer stabilizing fluids, and more.

Includes calculations of the resistance of piles to compressive loads, pile groups under compressive loading, piled foundations for resisting uplift and lateral loading, and the structural design of piles and pile groups.

Covers marine structures, durability of piled foundations, ground investigations, and pile testing.

Addresses miscellaneous problems such as machinery foundations, underpinning, mining subsidence areas, geothermal piles, and unexploded ordnance.

Pile Design and Construction Practice, Sixth Edition serves as a comprehensive guide for practicing geotechnical engineers. It is an essential resource for anyone involved in the design and construction of piled foundations, providing a wealth of information and guidance to ensure the successful and safe implementation of these structures.
