Sommario/riassunto

Pile foundations are the most common form of deep foundations that used both onshore and offshore to transfer large superstructure loads into competent soil strata. This book provides many case histories of failure of pile foundations due to earthquake loading and soil liquefaction.

Sommario/riassunto

"This book sets out the innovative practices that have been introduced from other industries and shows how the construction industry has learnt from these. It explores the commercial significance of innovation; outlines its role in transforming practice and improving competitiveness; and lists technological and market forces driving the innovation process. The authors explain why some attempts at innovation in construction fail and others succeed and detail the management of change, outlining economic, technical and organisational characteristics which may inhibit change in practice as well as examine management strategies for making change happen"--
