More Resources Foundation Design and Analysis: Deep Foundations, Lateral Loading of Piles Design and Construction of Driven Pile Foundations, 2016 Edition. Having looked at axial loads on driven piles, we come to the subject of lateral loads on driven piles. Deep foundations in general are more suitable for lateral loads than shallow ones, so this … Continue reading Driven Pile Design: Lateral Loads on Piles

Driven Pile Design: Three Methods of Analysis
As mentioned earlier, it would be a long business to catalog all of the methods that have been devised to estimate the axial bearing capacity (with all of the problems of that concept) of driven piles. Here we will show how three of these methods apply to our test case (reproduced below.) More Resources Foundation … Continue reading Driven Pile Design: Three Methods of Analysis
Application of Vibratory Hammers for Soil Compaction
For the rest of the book, click here. Vibratory compaction has become an important technique for soil improvement. It is interesting that at the start vibratory pile drivers were used in the early development of the technology. Vibratory pile drivers are increasingly used in industrial and hydraulic construction to compact soils. Currently, there are two … Continue reading Application of Vibratory Hammers for Soil Compaction
