Deep Foundations on Bored and Auger Piles - BAP V 5th International Symposium on Deep Foundations on Bored and Auger Piles (BAP V), 8-10 September 2008, Ghent, Belgium, Book + CD-ROM

Edited By William F. Van Impe, Peter van Impe Copyright 2008

    Although progressing very well over the last years, the design criteria for bored and auger piles are still not fully under control and in acceptable synergism with the real pile foundation behaviour. Although there has been a lot of research in the past years  worldwide on deep foundation engineering, the strong and competitive market has absolutely favorized the ingenuity of the contractor’s world. A striking example of this is of such developments linked ideas on energy piles; one of the key topics in this book. This book presents the current status of screw or bore pile-soil interaction findings and developments.

    Special lecture: Geotechnical engineering issues related to the Messina Strait Crossing

    Keynote 2: Bored pile foundations in offshore conditions - Bored pile foundations in offshore conditions
    Keynote 3: Bored and auger pile testing developments - Relationships between axial capacity and CPT qc for bored piles in sand
    Keynote 4: Energy pile concepts - Energy piles concepts
