ICP design methods for driven piles in sands and clays
While axial capacity is often the governing design criterion with driven piles, the reliability of predictions made by conventional procedures is generally poor. A long-term research program run at Imperial College London in conjunction with Industry, the UK's Health and Safety Executive and Engineering and Physical Sciences Research Council led to the new design recommendations published by Jardine and Chow in 1996. Their procedures offered considerable improvements and have been applied worldwide in many offshore, marine and onshore projects.
ICE Specification for piling and embedded retaining walls ; 2nd ed.
The new ICE Specification for Piling and Embedded Retaining Walls is designed to be used as the new technical specification for piling and embedded walling works either on land or near to shore. It documents the latest piling techniques and procurement methods used in the foundations sector whilst incorporating the changes introduced by the new European Standards.
