ABSTRACT Tremie concrete enables the construction of deep foundations such as piles and diaphragm walls as it is self-compacting, can be placed under a support fluid and is resistant to segregation. As the urban landscape within New Zealand increases in density, deeper and more complex…

Practical approaches to seismic design of deep foundations

Practical approaches to seismic design of deep foundations

This paper sets out a simplified approach by which the practical foundation designer can undertake the relevant calculations to satisfy the requirements for deep foundation design in seismic areas. The following matters are dealt with: Design issues that should be addressed; Pile design for axial…
