Emphasising both theoretical understanding and professional application, it examines the behaviour of pile foundations and demonstrates how design principles can be effectively applied to deliver safe, reliable and economical foundation solutions.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe chapters cover the fundamental aspects of pile foundation design, including site investigation, pile types, axially and laterally loaded piles, and the design requirements of the first- and second-generation Eurocode 7 standards. Particular attention is given to topics that receive limited coverage in other foundation engineering texts, including compensating pile foundations, piles in consolidating soils, settlement-reducing pile rafts, durability of piles and the reuse of existing pile foundations. The book also examines analytical and numerical approaches, including finite element analysis, and demonstrates their application through worked examples and case studies drawn from real projects.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003ePublished in two volumes, this first volume focuses on the principles and methods of pile foundation design, while the companion second volume addresses construction, installation effects, load testing and site-related challenges.
