Evaluation of the Static Design Procedure in the Canadian Foundation Engineering Manual for Piles in Cohesionless Soil

Piles provide a convenient solution for heavy structures, where the foundation soil bearing capacity, or the tolerable settlement may be exceeded due to the applied loads. In cohesionless soils, the two frequently used pile installation methods are driving and drilling (or boring). This paper review...
