Current Practices and Future Trends in Deep Foundations

by Jerry A. DiMaggio, American Society of Civil Engineers Staff, Mohamad H. Hussein

Overview

Papers in honor of George G. Goble, Ph.D., P.E.

This Geotechnical Special Publication contains 26 papers on state-of-the-art developments in deep foundation design, construction, testing, and inspection. These improvements can save time, reduce costs, improve quality, and enhance performance. George G. Goble, to whom this volume is dedicated, has made significant contributions to and personally influenced the development of mainstream design and construction assessment tools on a worldwide basis.

Topics include:

• trends in deep foundations,
• theory and international practice of wave equation analysis,
• dynamic and static pile testing, and
• nondestructive integrity testing related to deep foundations.

Foundation specialists, geotechnical engineers, structural engineers, heavy construction contractors, engineering geologists, geotechnologists, and inspectors will find this book beneficial.
