  • Provides detailed instructions for field tests such as compressive/lift and horizontal static load tests, dynamic load tests, inclinometer tests, and strain gauges applications
  • Discusses up-to-date topic and state-of-the-art technology for different types of pile foundations, including post-grouted bored piles, displacement and non-displacement precast piles, composite piles, and super-long and large diameter piles
  • Presents project information in terms of failure testing of pile foundation and super-long large diameter pile foundation, and fiber-reinforced polymer (FRP) composite pile foundation

About this book

This book provides full-scale field tests of different types of pile foundations. For the testing, it includes static load tests which consider various loading orientations, dynamic load tests, inclinometer monitoring and tests that aim to determine the load transfer mechanism of pile foundation. This book also covers the up-to-date popular topic with detailed project studies. This includes the academic investigation of post-grouting technology effect on drilled shaft piles, the research of displacement and non-displacement precast pile foundation, the study of fiber-reinforced polymer material used in the geo-technical environment such as deep excavation pit in tunneling project, and the research of super-long and large diameter pile foundations. These investigations provide essential and academic information for researchers as well as engineers in role of Civil and Geotech. Not only the different types of the piles are studied, but also the relevant theory and literatures are reviewed. In this book, the diagrams are plotted in an easy way and the explanation of the diagrams and tables are described in detail. The research methods corresponding to the practical projects are detailed as well. Hence, it is useful as a reference for the students and researchers in civil and geotechnical engineering.
