Analysis, Design, Construction, and Testing of Deep Foundations

by Jose M. Roesset, Jose M. Roessett

Overview

Proceedings of the Offshore Technology Research Center Conference, held in Austin, Texas, April 29-30, 1999. Sponsored by the Geo-Institute.

This Geotechnical Special Publication contains 19 papers presenting the latest cutting-edge research in analysis, design, construction, and testing of deep foundations. Although deep foundations are used extensively for the support of structures in both terrestrial and marine environments, significant uncertainties still exist in predicting the field behavior of such foundations.

Topics include:

• pile foundation collapse,
• three-dimensional analysis,
• pile driving techniques, and
• suction caisson foundations.

This volume honors Lymon C. Reese, an international authority in deep foundations and originator of the p-y method, which is widely used in predicting behavior of deep foundations under lateral loading.

Editorial Reviews

Proceedings of an April 1999 conference, presenting the latest research in analysis, design, construction, and testing of deep foundation used in support of marine and terrestrial environments. Topics include lateral loading response of piles in calcareous sediments, validity of the Reese model for pile foundations using variation principles, mechanics of pile foundation collapse, and three-dimensional analysis of deep foundations. Other subjects are lateral resistance of piles in liquefying sand, and numerical models of suction piles. Annotation c. Book News, Inc., Portland, OR (booknews.com)
