Thomas Whitaker ... The Design of Piled Foundations, Second Edition focuses on the theories
which have been advanced to predict the loads which piles will carry,
both singly and when used in groups to form a piled foundation. Organized
into 12 chapters, this book begins with an explanation of the
utilization of piles. Subsequent chapters discuss the types of piles and
their construction; pile driving by vibration; the calculation of the
ultimate bearing capacity of a pile from soil properties; the settlement
of single piles and the choice of a factor of safety; and piles in soft
soils. Other chapters describe pile testing; piles in groups with
vertical loading; horizontal forces on piles and pile group; and the
durability of piles.
