Piled foundations are generally designed using empirical methods, in particular the traditional capacity based approach on which the majority of codes of practice are based.
However in recent years the analysis of pile groups and piled rafts has undergone substantial development in the light of new research and the mechanisms for the interactions between piles, soil and rafts or caps have been largely clarified.
Paradoxically, with relatively large piled rafts it has been found that a design based on the criterion of serviceability, with the limitation of absolute and/or differential settlement, not only allows a more rational and economical design, but is also simpler and more reliable than one based on the traditional approach.
This book provides an overview of present design practice of piled foundations, under both vertical and horizontal loads, and then a presentation of recent advances in the analysis and design of piled rafts. Altogether it forms a thorough guide to the design and analysis of efficient and effective piled rafts, and it also serves as a useful design handbook for traditional pile foundations.

All objects and structures transfer their load either directly or indirectly to the earth. The capacity of the earth to support such loads depends on the strength and stability of the supporting soil or rock materials. Pile foundations are the part of a structure used to carry and transfer the load of the structure to the bearing ground located at some depth below ground surface. There are many texts on pile foundations.
Generally, these books are complicated and difficult to understand. Easy to use and understand, this book covers virtually every subject concerning pile design, featuring techniques that do not appear in other books on the subject. It contains design methods with real life examples on pin piles, bater piles, concrete piles, steel piles, timber piles, auger cast piles, underpinning design, seismic pile design, negative skin friction and design of Bitumen coated piles for negative skin friction and many other subjects.
This book is packed with design examples, case studies and after construction scenarios are presented for the reader’s benefits. This book enables the reader to come away with a complete and comprehensive understanding of the issues related to the design, installation and construction of piles.
* Handy guide for engineers perparing for professional engineer (PE) exam.
* Numerous design examples for sandy soils, clay soils, and seismic loadings
* Methodologies and case studies for different pile types
Ruwan Rajapakse is presently a project manager for STV Incorporated, one of the most prominent design firms in New York City. He has extensive experience in design and construction of piles and other geotechnical engineering work. He is a licensed professional engineer (PE) in New York and New Jersey and a certified construction manager (CCM).
He is currently an adjunct professor at New Jersey Institute of Technology conducting the graduate level geotechnical engineering course. He is the author of four books including Geotechnical Engineering Calculations and Rule of Thumb and Pile Design and Construction Rules of Thumb by Butterworth-Heinemann.

The present book contains 130 peer reviewed papers and eight invited keynote lectures presented during the International Colloquium on Stability and Ductility of Steel Structures SDSS’Rio 2010, which was held in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil, September 8-10, 2010. This series of conferences started in 1972 and their previous editions took place in several different cities and countries, the last three were held in Timisoara, Romania (1999), in Budapest, Hungary (2002) and in Lisbon, Portugal (2006). The SDSS conferences are intended to summarize the progress in theoretical, numerical and experimental research concerning the analysis and design of steel structures, with particular emphasis addressed to topics related to stability and ductility aspects. Special attention is always paid to new concepts and procedures and also to the background, development and application of rules and recommendations either appearing in recently published Codes/Specifications or about to be included in their upcoming versions.

For courses that cover and/or include structural steel design using the ASD (Allowable Stress Design) method, such as Structures, Structural Analysis/Design, Design of Steel Structures, Building with Steel, Steel Construction and Steel Detailing in 2/4-year technology programs, architectural programs, and construction programs.
Written specifically for the engineering technology/technician level, this text offers a straightforward, elementary, noncalculus, practical problem-solving approach to the analysis, design, and detailing of structural steel members.
Using numerous example problems and a step-by-step solution format, it focuses on the classical and traditional ASD (Allowable Stress Design) method of structural steel design and introduces the LRFD (Load and Resistance Factor Design) method (fast-becoming the method of choice for the future).
Analysis, Design and Construction of Steel Space Frames
Space frames provide a lightweight solution to the problem of creating large span enclosures free from obstructions.
They are employed in many major construction projects across the world, as documented in this authoritatively written volume.
This is the first in-depth book to present all instances and applications of space frames in various engineering schemes.
It uses case studies and numerous illustrations to examine steel space frames from their design to their structural engineering performance.
