Design of piles is covered by four chapters dealing with calculating the resistance of piles to compressive loads, pile groups under compressive loading, piled foundations for resisting uplift and lateral loading and structural design of piles and pile groups. The last four chapters deal with piling for marine structures, miscellaneous piling problems, durability of piled foundations and site investigations, piling contracts and pile testing.
