Innovative Solutions for Deep Foundations and Retaining Structures

Proceedings of the 3rd GeoMEast International Congress and Exhibition, Egypt 2019 on Sustainable Civil Infrastructures – The Official International Congress of the Soil-Structure Interaction Group in Egypt (SSIGE)

  • Presents the state of the art and practice on the analysis and design of piles under axial and lateral loading
  • Provides the state of the art and practice on the long-term increase in pile capacity (or setup), effect of pile group, and effect of excavation on pile capacity
  • Discusses the state of the art and practice on the use of in-situ tests to evaluate the bearing capacity and settlement of piles
