Author Description

Proceedings of sessions at Geo-Denver 2000, held in Denver, Colorado, August 5-8, 2000. Sponsored by the Geo-Institute of ASCE. This Geotechnical Special Publication (GSP 100) contains 34 papers presenting the latest information on the design, installation, and performance of deep foundations. Special emphasis is placed on post-grouted drilled shafts and on augered, cast-in-place (ACIP) piles. Papers on screwed and driven foundations are also included. Topics include: high-capacity piles on rock; design, installation, and performance of helical piles; post-grouting of drilled shafts; lateral load considerations for drilled and ACIP piles; resistance factors for driven piles; pile load test databases; neural networks and pile design; remediation techniques using piles; numerical analyses of drilled shafts and ACIP piles; comparison of pile and probe tests; prediction of pile set-up; nondestructive testing of drilled shafts; p-y curves in partially saturated soils; design and testing of ACIP piles; quality control measures for ACIP piles; and properties of auger grout.
