Analysis of Pile Foundations

This volume is a compilation of eight chapters that explain tectonics and seismicity. The book presents state-of-the-art techniques for calculating ground motion amplification due to sediments above the engineering bedrock employing strong-motion recordings and microtremor data.

This book presents the proceedings of an International Conference on Advances in Engineering Structures, Mechanics & Construction, held in Waterloo, Ontario, Canada, May 14-17, 2006. The contents include contains the texts of all three plenary presentations and all seventy-three technical papers by more than 153 authors, presenting the latest advances in engineering structures, mechanics and construction research and practice.

Oasys Alp is a tool developed to enable engineers analyse the behaviour and inform their design of laterally loaded piles, and is a core component of our Piling Pro and Piling Bundles.

This volume comprehensively addresses the issue of uncertainty in civil engineering, from design to construction. Current engineering practice often leaves uncertainty issues aside, despite the fact that new scientific tools have been developed in the past decades that allow a rational description of uncertainties of all kinds, from model uncertainty to data uncertainty. It is the aim of this volume to take a critical look at current engineering risk concepts in order to raise awareness of uncertainty in numerical computations, shortcomings of a strictly probabilistic safety concept, geotechnical models of failure and their construction implications, actual construction, and legal responsibility. In addition, a number of the new procedures for modelling uncertainty are explained. The book is a result of a collaborate effort of mathematicians, engineers and construction managers who met regularly in a post-graduate seminar at the University of Innsbruck during the past years.

The Bentley's STAAD development team is pleased to announce the availability of STAAD Foundation Advanced 2025 (25.00.00.287). This release represents the new generation STAAD Foundation product and has some enhancements over the capabilities of the last released 24.00.01 version.

The Bentley's STAAD development team is pleased to announce the availability of STAAD Foundation Advanced CONNECT Edition 2023 (09.07.02.099). This software is used for the analysis and design of isolated footings, combined footings, strip footings, pile caps and mat foundations.
