Foundation Analysis and Design: Innovative Methods covers recent advances in the research and construction of shallow foundations, pile foundations and limit state design. This Geotechnical Special Publication contains 44 technical papers that were presented at the GeoShanghai Conference held in Shanghai, China from June 6-8, 2006. The book begins with a keynote paper by Professor Harry Poulos, which summarizes recent advances in the settlement of pile groups. The next section contains fifteen papers which address statistical applications and the use of limit state design for foundations. The third section contains 25 papers on deep foundations that describe a series of advances in the estimation of pile capacity and pile installation issues. The final section includes three papers that focus on advances in the estimation of settlement associated with shallow foundations.

Advances in Designing and Testing Deep Foundations contains 25 papers on designing, constructing, and testing various types of piles and piled rafts. This Geotechnical Special Publication No. 129 honors the late Professor Michael W. O'Neill, Ph.D., P.E., a distinguished educator and researcher who made significant contributions toward the advancement of the state-of-the-art and state-of-the-practice of deep foundations. Professor O'Neill played a critical role in investigating the load transfer mechanisms of various types of piles in soils and rocks and was internationally known for his work on drilled shafts, augered piles, and field testing of various types of piles. This publication is an effective means of sharing the advances in deep foundations with practitioners, researchers, and designers.
