Product Description:
This well-established and internationally recognized reference is an essential handbook for geotechnical engineers and engineering geologists responsible for designing and constructing piled foundations for building and civil engineering structures. Michael Tomlinson and John Woodward explain the general principles and practice of piling and give a detailed review of the types of pile, piling equipment and methods which are currently used.This also provides students with more comprehensive information on the subject than is generally available in a civil engineering degree course. Chapters on pile design include calculating 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. Piling for marine structures, miscellaneous piling problems (including machinery foundations, underpinning, mining subsidence areas, piling contracts and frozen ground), durability of piled foundations, ground investigations, piling contracts and pile testing are also covered.The fifth edition of this well-established book introduces the 2005 version of Eurocode7, Geotechnical Design, and covers other relevant Eurocodes. It also covers BS 8004 and refers to BS 6349 on maritime structures, and new forms of civil engineering contracts suitable for piling projects are discussed. Highly illustrated, this book includes numerous worked examples to the codes, many of which are based on actual problems encountered.
