Abstract

Gives guidance on the selection, design and installation of steel bearing piles for foundations to all types of structure. The characteristics and advantages of steel bearing piles in construction are described in order to assist in the primary process of selection of the correct pile type for any given site and soil conditions. Load transfer mechanisms are described and limit state design interpreted in relation to measured pile head movements. The sections on design include axial and lateral load resistance prediction methods, combined loading effects on retaining walls and pile group analysis. Up-to-date pile driving analysis is presented as a basis for planning efficient installation and as an aid to design. Practical aspects of test loading, installation tolerances and connection details are covered.
