Review

'An excellent reference ... Provides the reader with considerable insight into the behaviour, design, and use of various types of pile. Simple exercises are given which provide the reader with an insight to the processses of design and the final foundation choice.' - Canadian Journal of Civil Engineering (of the 4th edition)
