Foundations and Piling

This book provides an overview of the basic concepts of geosynthtic engineering, especially meeting the requirements of students in civil engineering, as well as those of practising civil engineers who have not been educated on geosynthetics during their university training...

This comprehensive guide for offshore geotechnics and marine engineers covers the analysis and design of anchor systems used for mooring offshore floating structures, suiting offshore oil and gas industry and renewable energy systems. Content includes basic design, installation performance, load cap..

This volume collects one opening address, four special lectures and 82 contributions from all over the world, giving a unique sample of the geotechnical problems to be tackled, the solutions currently being proposed, and the strategies being carried out to preserve the overall integrity of monuments..

This second edition outlines the development of vibratory deep compaction, describes the equipment used, sets out the methods and techniques, and provides state-of-the-art design principles and quality control procedures. Fresh case studies from around the world are used to illustrate their wide ran..

Due to fundamental differences in construction and installation techniques, offshore geotechnical engineering has grown as a specialty. The early chapters of this critical volume provide a brief overview of the marine environment, offshore site investigation techniques, and interpretation of soil be..

This book provides an accessible and well-illustrated account of design techniques, methods of testing and analysis of piles, with a marked emphasis on practice but with design methods that incorporate the most recent advances in piling theory. Piling Engineering is written for geotechnical engineer..

Report on the Rapid Load Test as an effective and economic alternative for a static load test. Discusses many factors investigated within the perspective of developing an international standard for the execution and interpretation of this method...

This volume provides a snapshot of the current thinking and development perspectives on the installation and design of screw piles within a framework of the Eurocode 7...

This book offers a systematic treatment on the analysis of footings by using the constitutive relationships of the soil. It discusses the entire process, from determining the constitutive law of the soil to proportioning the footing based on the different soil situations encountered and includes inf..

The book presents the state of the art in the pneumatic flow mixing method, and covers recent technologies, research activities and know-how in machinery, design, construction technology and quality control and assurance...

A study of tiebacks in foundation engineering and construction. Discusses the decisions that go into choosing a tieback, such as the level of corrosion protection required, and describes how soil conditions affect anchor design and construction...
