Theory and Practice of Pile Foundations

af Wei Dong Guo

Covering a range of design issues relating to pile design, this book presents economical and efficient design solutions and demonstrates them using real-world examples. Coverage includes nonlinear response of single piles to vertical or torsional loading and to cyclic lateral loading, as well as prediction of nonlinear response of lateral pile groups, vertically loaded pile groups and the design of slope stabilizing piles. Most solutions are provided as closed-form expressions. This is a valuabl... (Læs mere)
