Pile Foundation Analysis and Design Edward H. Davis, Harry G. Poulos
Publisher: John Wiley & Sons Inc

A Course and Seminar on Piled Foundations – Analysis, Testing and Design Presented by Bengt H. At the end of this course student acquires the capacity to investigate the soil condition and to design suitable foundation. To accomplish this goal, the available data were first analyzed for reliability and then placed in a newly designed relational database management system termed PIle LOad Tests (PILOT), to which this first volume of the final report for project TR-573 is dedicated. A report from The Illinois Center for Transportation at the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign is focused on improving pile design through increased resistance factors and nominal bearing values. Bill Gates has done wonderful work Designs that failed but showed promise? Types of piles and their function – Factors influencing the selection of pile – Carrying capacity of single pile in granular and cohesive soil - Static formula - dynamic formulae (Engineering news and Hiley's) – Capacity from insitu tests (SPT and SCPT) – Negative skin friction – uplift capacity Bowles J.E, “Foundation analysis and design”, McGraw-Hill, 1994 5. A challenge at the foundation that's been on my mind lately. Welcome to my new blog series on Impatient Optimists, where I'll be sharing my thoughts on the Gates Foundation and philanthropy. It's called the “innovation pile up”. In the last analysis, while philanthropy will clearly help, we need enlarged aid from the OECD countries.
