This handbook provides a complete overview of pile systems and their application and production. It shows their analysis based on the new safety concept providing numerous examples for single piles, pile grids, and groups. These recommendations are considered rules of engineering. The book will be of use to civil engineers, test engineers, and engineering consultants, as well as public authorities, company libraries, and libraries at universities and institutes.
