Description

Pile foundations are the most common form of deep foundations that are used both onshore and offshore to transfer large superstructural loads into competent soil strata.

This book provides many case histories of failure of pile foundations due to earthquake loading and soil liquefaction.

Based on the observed case histories, the possible mechanisms of failure of the pile foundations are postulated.

The book also deals with the additional loading attracted by piles in liquefiable soils due to lateral spreading of sloping ground.

Recent research at Cambridge forms the backbone of this book with the design methodologies being developed directly based on quantified centrifuge test results and numerical analysis.The book provides designers and practicing civil engineers with a sound knowledge of pile behaviour in liquefiable soils and easy-to-use methods to design pile foundations in seismic regions.

For graduate students and researchers, it brings together the latest research findings on pile foundations in a way that is relevant to geotechnical practice.
