DESCRIPTION:
EXCELLENT PUBLICATION John Bush I must congratulate Howard Perko on his recent publication. In my opinion, it is the first publication that covers all aspects of helical steel screw piles in a manner that is straight forward, practical and based on experience but at the same time carries the academic creditability of a reference book.During the course of ten year business specialising in screw piles in New Zealand we have completed over 350 static compression load tests and a similar number of tension tests. Howard Perko's book generally supports most of the design criteria, test results and installation methods we have tried and tested. This book goes a long way to elevati. "Engineers, contractors and owners" according to R. Geringer. Any engineer, contractor or project owner considering helical piles as a deep foundation would be well served to purchase this book. The author's writing style makes this an easy read whether you are new to helicals or have been using/designing with them for years. Highly recommended!. "common sense approach" according to Thomas Pinion. Howard Perko does a great job in his book with mixing experience,along with common sense,into his approach on helical piles.The pictures are a great addition as they tend to tell the info he is trying to convey. This book is also loaded with great refrences.Great job Howard.
After introducing the reader to the basic features, terminology, history, and modern applications of helical pile technology, chapters discuss:Installation and basic geotechnicsBearing and pullout capacityCapacity verification through torqueAxial load testing, reliability, and sizingExpansive soil and lateral load resistanceCorrosion and life expectancyFoundation, earth retention, and underpinning systemsFoundation economicsSelect proprietary systemsIBC and NYC Building codesCovering such issues of concern as environmental sustainability, Helical Piles provides contractors and engineers as well as students in civil engineering with a practical, real-world guide to the design and installation of helical piles.. An unbiased, comprehensive review of helical pile technology and applicationsHelical piles have risen from being merely an interesting alternative for special cases to a frequently requested, more widely accepted deep foundation adopted into the 2009 International Building Code. The first alternative to manufacturer-produced manuals, Howard Perko's Helical Piles: A Practical Guide to Design and Installation answers the industry's need for an unbia
