PILES AND OTHER DEEP FOUNDATIONS. PROCEEDINGS OF THE ELEVENTH INTERNATIONAL CONFERENCE ON SOIL MECHANICS AND FOUNDATION ENGINEERING, SAN FRANCISCO, 12-16 AUGUST 1985

This paper attempts to provide insight into the state of international practice for design and installation of axially loaded piles, both driven and bored. Its principal purpose is to report on the state-of-practice as it exists, not as the authors believe that it should be. The paper is based on a worldwide survey of practice conducted in 1983 that asked 36 specific questions on analysis, design and installation of axially loaded driven and bored piles. The responses are evaluated on the basis of geographic area and type of practice of the respondents. Contrasting views of practitioners from different areas and types of practice are highlighted where warranted. The paper concludes with the authors' opinions as to probable future directions of research and practice for design of axially loaded driven and bored piles.
