Editorial Reviews

The selected results from the pile testing research project conducted in conjunction with the September 1992 conference reporting on "Test Day" and the practical side of pile driving. The papers introduce the project, the general soil conditions of the test site, and the tests and demonstrations themselves which include tests for pile integrity and prediction of load-displacement characteristics from the results of dynamic/kinetic load, results of the pile driving prediction contest, pile driving demonstrations, and vibratory pile driving techniques. Includes photographs and graphs. Lacks an index. Annotation c. by Book News, Inc., Portland, Or.
