Purpose and Background
The purpose of this seminar is to present modern techniques for the design, installation, and verification of deep foundations. Over the past twenty-five years major changes have occurred in the deep foundations industry. New improved methods have been developed for installing all types of deep foundations, increased loads are being used, and new quality control procedures have been developed. For driven piles, higher loads can be achieved with new hammers, dynamic quality control methods have been adopted, wave equation analysis is being widely used, and higher strength materials are becoming common. Auger-cast piles are being used with increasing frequency. High-capacity drilled shafts are being utilized more frequently. New design and specifications have been adopted in many codes and specifications. This seminar will present modern design procedures for deep foundations including discussions on new developments.
