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.

What if our civilization could avoid self-destruction and completely devastating the environment by decoding the secret messages carried by iconic monuments such as the Great Sphinx of Giza, Taj Mahal in India, or Statue of Liberty in New York? This book takes a unique and fresh approach to our history, with a focus on leadership and climate change, and decodes it through some of the iconic monuments and statues of our world. After four decades of traveling and studying different cultures around the world, Dr. Hari D. Sharma uncovered a well-kept secret: these iconic monuments and statues are more than beautiful artifacts. They are keys that help us better understand the impact of climate change and leadership practices on the evolution of human civilization. Climate Change and Leadership Shaping Civilizations will take you on a journey around the world, from the Sphinx of Egypt to the sacred land of Stonehenge; from the serene Taj Mahal in India to the quaint streets of Paris, with its impressive Tour Eiffel, and bustling New York, with its majestic Statue of Liberty. You will also travel back in time to the Ancient Egyptian-Greco-Roman and Indic civilizations and return to the present day, exploring the Renaissance and democratic civilizations. Packed with examples and illustrations, this book provides an entertaining and unbiased account of our history. It also addresses two of the most burning issues of the modern age: climate change and visionary leadership. It will delight readers passionate about history and travel and will give food for thought and actionable steps to those who are looking for solutions to protect the environment. Last, but not least, the book is a must-read for current and aspiring leaders who want to make a positive impact on the world with their vision and actions.
