Features: This book systematically elaborates on the theory of pile foundation design and testing. The first part introduces the load transfer mechanism of piles, their bearing capacity and deformation characteristics, as well as the design principles and methods. The second part, for the first time, applies the theory of wave propagation inverse problems to analyze the inversion problems of pile foundation bearing capacity and integrity, providing two new methods for determining pile bearing capacity and detecting integrity. The book also employs artificial neural networks to achieve automated calculations for pile foundation bearing capacity. The content is novel, reflecting the latest research findings in pile foundation design and stress wave testing. It combines theory with practice, offering numerous engineering examples. This book can serve as a textbook for faculty and students of civil engineering at universities and also as a reference for related engineering technicians.
