SUMMARY AND REVIEW OF PART II OF THE SYMPOSIUM ON PILE FOUNDATIONS

PAPERS PRESENTED DURING THE SECOND PART OF THE SYMPOSIUM SUMMARIZE MUCH OF THE PROGRESS MADE TO DATE; THEY OFFER LITTLE COMFORT TO THOSE WHO VIEW FOUNDATION ENGINEERING AS AN APPLIED SCIENCE. THE FOUR PAPERS, SUMMARIZED BY LEONARDS OF PURDUE UNIVERSITY, ARE DIRECTED GENERALLY AT THE BEHAVIOR OF THE PILE SOIL SYSTEM. TITLES OF PAPERS PRESENTED ARE STRUCTURAL BEHAVIOR OF DRIVEN PILING, PILE LOAD TESTS, BEARING CAPACITIES OF FOUNDATION PILES, AND LATERAL LOAD CAPACITY OF PILES.
