Preface
Pile foundations is a very vast subject and it is not possible to cover all the information regarding pile foundations in one book or presentation. The objective of this presentation is to give an overall view of thesubject which will serve as beginners guide. The focus of the presentation is mainly on onshore pile foundations. The author has tried to explain the subject through simple concepts and visuals without giving detailed methodologies or mathematical concepts to maintain the interest of the beginner ,without loading his mind with unnecessary confusion . However, some formulae were presented at some places only to appreciate the statements made. The author assumes that the reader has basic knowledge of soil mechanics and foundation engineering and basic principles of engineering. The author will be pleased to accept comments and suggestions, without deviating from the basic objective of the presentation, for further improvement.
