“This is the standard of care, the ultimate, practical arbitrator.”—Donald A. Bruce, Geosystems LPMichael Tomlinson’s classic and widely used reference has been updated to providecomprehensive references to the new codes and standards now essential for the design andconstruction of piled foundations. Emphasis is placed on the well-established theoreticaland empirical calculation methods which are amenable to the application of basic computersoftware for pile design. The worked examples incorporate the Eurocode limit state principlesand, where applicable, deal with permissible stress design, drawing on the UK NationalAnnex and currently active British Standards. New sections include the construction of micropiles and CFA piles, pile-soilinteraction, verification of pile materials, piling for integral bridge abutments, use ofpolymer stabilising fluids, and more Includes calculations of the resistance of piles to compressive loads, pile groupsunder compressive loading, piled foundations for resisting uplift and lateral loading,and the structural design of piles and pile groups Covers marine structures, durability of piled foundations, ground investigations,and pile testing and miscellaneous problems such as machinery foundations, under pinning, mining subsidence areas, geothermal piles, and unexploded ordnanceIt features case studies and detailed examples from around the world which demonstratehow piling problems are tackled and solved, and it comments on the essential contract termsand conditions for undertaking work. All is backed-up with relevant published information. Itserves as a guide for practising geotechnical engineers and engineering geologists, and asa resource for piling contractors and graduate students studying geotechnical engineering.an informa businesswww.crcpress.com6000 Broken Sound Parkway, NWSuite 300, Boca Raton, FL 33487711 Third AvenueNew York, NY 100172 Park Square, Milton ParkAbingdon, Oxon OX14 4RN, UKK20573ISBN: 978-1-4665-9263-6SixthEditionJohn Woodward and the late Michael Tomlinson were colleagues for many years working fora major international civil engineering contractor, undertaking geotechnical investigations,foundation design and construction, materials testing and specialist contracting services.They worked on major projects worldwide such as docks, harbours, petroleum productionand refining facilities, onshore and offshore, industrial structures and multistorey buildings.They have also been independently engaged as geotechnical consultants to the constructionindustry preparing foundation designs, legal reports and contractual advice.Pile Design andConstruction Practice“The book gives a comprehensive overview of the piling techniques in common use, theiradvantages and disadvantages.

Preface to the sixth editionTwo factors are driving the development of modern pile design and construction–the growthin demand for high-rise buildings and the subsequent requirement for ever-larger piles, frequently in areas with poor subsoils. New piling techniques and powerful piling rigs haveeffectively addressed the problems of producing piles to cope with the larger structuralloads, and significant improvements have taken place in understanding the behaviour ofpiles. However, despite the advances in analytical and numerical methods using sophisticated computer software which allow theoretical soil mechanics solutions to be applied toaspects of pile design, much reliance still has to be placed on empirical correlations. Thelate Michael Tomlinson was an empiricist committed to the scientific method with extensivepractical knowledge, and these principles and applications are still the backbone of practicalpile design.A guiding precept in this edition was therefore to keep to the spirit of MJT’s work, retaining a substantial amount of his writings on the technicalities of pile design, particularly thedemonstration of the basic principles using his hand calculation methods and the reviews ofthe extensive case studies. However, there are new codified design procedures which have tobe addressed. For example, the formal adoption in Europe of the Eurocodes for structuraldesign (and ‘load and resistance factor design’ more generally elsewhere) has led to new waysof assessing design parameters and safety factors. One of the main objectives in this editionhas been to give an overview of the current Eurocode requirements combined with the practicalities of applying the new suite of British Standards which relate to construction materials and installation procedures. However, compliance with the more systemised Eurocoderules has not necessitated any significant changes to the well-established procedures fordetermining ultimate geotechnical values for routine pile design. For more complex structures, such as offshore structures and monopiles, the new design methods for driven pilesin clays and sands, developed from the extensive laboratory research and field testing byImperial College for example, represent an important practical advance in producing economical foundations.The author wishes to thank David Beadman and Matina Sougle of Byrne Looby Partnersfor a review of the reworked examples, Chris Raison of Raison Foster Associates for comments on current Eurocode 7 pile design; Paul Cresswell of Abbey Pynford for his contribution on micropiles; Colin O’Donnell for comments on contractual matters; and TonyBracegirdle, David Hight, Hugh St John, Philip Smith and Marina Sideri of GeotechnicalConsulting Group for their reviews, contributions and inputs on many of the topics.
