<p>This is a concise, systematic and complete treatment of the design and construction of pile foundations. Discusses pile behavior under various loadings and types of piles and their installation, including consideration of soil parameters. It provides step-by-step design procedures for piles subject to vertical loading and pullout, lateral, inclined and eccentric loads, or dynamic loads, and for piles in permafrost. Also describes load test procedures and their interpretation and buckling of long, slender piles with and without supported length. The closing chapter presents case histories of prediction and performance of piles and pile groups. Includes numerous solved problems.</p>

Discussed here is the state-of-the-art design of machine foundations and the principles of soil engineering, soil dynamics and theory of vibrations. Complete and comprehensive treatment of design methods for different types of machines are described including reciprocating machines, impact machines and rotary machines. Embedded foundations and foundations on piles are also covered, along with step-by-step design procedures and several solved examples. Two main methods of analysis, Elastic Half Space and Linear Spring are described in detail, and material is provided on wave propagation for determining dynamic soil properties - essential to the safe design of machine foundations. The chapter on vibrations should prove helpful to the reader in understanding the dynamic nature of the problem. This book presents a systematic, concise and thorough discussion of the subject, complete with solved examples, bibliography and concluding commentary.
