volume presents some advances in the analysis and design of deep foundations, It containstechnical papers covering various aspects of analysis and design of deep foundations based on fullscale field testing, numerical modeling and analytical solutions.
They present results and findings from research as well as practicaloriented studies on deep foundations that are of interest to civil/geotechnical engineering community.
The topics cover a wide spectrum of applications that include evaluation of the axial and lateral capacity of piles, pile group effects, evaluation of the increase in pile capacity with time or pile setup, influence of excavation on pile capacity, study the behavior of pile raft caisson foundations, evaluation of the bearing capacity and settlement of piles from cone penetration tests, etc.
The volume is based on the best contributions to thend GeoMEast International Congress and Exhibition on Sustainable Civil Infrastructures, EgyptThe official international congress of the SoilStructure Interaction Group in Egypt SSIGE.
