Reese\u003c\/strong\u003e offers a specialised exploration of geotechnical engineering, with works that delve into the behaviour and design of pile foundations. His titles provide detailed analysis and practical insights, particularly for those interested in the performance of piles under various loading conditions.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eReaders can expect rigorous, technically rich content that bridges theory and application, making these books essential for engineers, researchers, and students seeking a deeper understanding of foundation engineering challenges.\u003c\/p\u003e","products":[{"product_id":"single-piles-and-pile-groups-under-lateral-loading-by-william-f-van-impe-9780415469883","title":"Single Piles and Pile Groups Under Lateral Loading","description":"\u003cdiv class=\"book-description\"\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe complexities of designing piles for lateral loads are manifold, as there are many forces that are critical to the design of large structures such as bridges, offshore and waterfront structures, and retaining walls. The loads on structures should be supported either horizontally, laterally, or in both directions, and most structures have in common that they are founded on piles. To create solid foundations, the pile designer is driven towards finding the critical load on a certain structure, either by causing overload or by causing too much lateral deflection.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThis second edition of \u003cem\u003eSingle Piles and Pile Groups Under Lateral Loading\u003c\/em\u003e by Reese and Van Impe explores and explains lateral load design and procedures for designing piles and pile groups, accounting for soil resistance as related to the lateral deflection of the pile. It addresses the analysis of piles of varying stiffness installed into soils with a variety of characteristics, accounting for the axial load at the top of the pile and for the rotational restraint of the pile head. The method using load-transfer functions presented is currently applied in practice by thousands of engineering offices around the world.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eMoreover, various experimental case design examples, including the design of an offshore platform pile foundation, are given to complement theory. The rich list of relevant publications will serve the user for further reading. Designed as a textbook for senior undergraduate and graduate student courses in pile engineering, foundation engineering, and related subjects, this set of book and CD-ROM will also benefit professionals in civil and mining engineering and in the applied earth sciences.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Unknown","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47607727227116,"sku":"9780415469883","price":294.0,"currency_code":"NZD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0705\/7784\/8556\/files\/1a3101c8446fe8e5c9d57d38d68497a7.jpg?v=1778188042"}],"url":"https:\/\/bookhero.co.nz\/collections\/lymon-c-reese.oembed","provider":"Book Hero","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
