Use it as you see fit, but please note that there is no technical support available to answer any questions about the guide!) PURPOSE OF THE GUIDE There are many texts on pile foundations . Generally, experience shows us that undergraduates find most of these texts complicated and difficult to understand. This guide has extracted the main points and puts together the whole process of pile Foundation design in a student friendly manner. The guide is presented in two versions: text-version (compendium from) and this web-version that can be accessed via internet or intranet and can be used as a supplementary self-assisting students guide.
