Gopal Madabhushi, Jonathan Knappett ... Pile foundations are the most common form of deep foundations that used
both onshore and offshore to transfer large superstructure 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.
