Pile foundation for Bridge
Second edition
The book covers a wide range of topics related to pile foundations for bridges. The information is based on the most recent American, European, Indian, and Nepalese codes, as well as American, German, Turkish, and Nepalese journals.
The book includes information on the different types of bridge foundations used in Nepal, as well as geotechnical pile design using the Working Load method and structural design using the Limit State Method.
The book is up to date with references to new developments in pile integrity and resistance capacity determination methods (Static, High Strain, and Low Strain non-destructive dynamic testing methods) and software.
The book also includes a step-by-step design technique, construction and quality assurance, bridge construction contract method, and common problems encountered during construction, as well as their causes and remedies.
Case studies from the United States, India, and Nepal provide readers with a holistic view of best-in-class viewpoints.
Furthermore, the introduction of self-compacting concrete, a study of the Design-Build contract model, the enhancement of the institutional environment, and the AHP Model are all covered in depth.
Overall, this is an excellent text/reference book for engineering students, government agencies, bridge designers, practising engineers, and bridge builders.

"Recently, many bridge failures have made the headlines, which has caused grave concern among the general public. While there are various causes of failure, many of them are avoidable. This book uses actual incidents to highlight why bridges fail in Nepal and what can be done to prevent them in the future."

"The Author gathers all aspects of pile foundation design: from geotechnical analysis of single pile capacity to piles in a group. The Author has clearly defined pile settlements for single pile as well as piles in a group. The book includes the latest code of practice applied in Nepal."
