3 SUMMARY
Deep foundation is a broad area of foundation engineering
ranging from conventional pile foundation to modern combined
pile-raft foundation. As expected, for this important topic huge
number of papers were submitted and finally 62 papers have
been selected which is distributed over two technical sessions of
this technical committee TC 212 – Deep Foundations. The
subject matters of these papers cover various sub-topics of deep
foundations viz., foundation behaviour and performance,
technologies for construction, rehabilitation and energy,
analytical and numerical analyses on piles and pile-raft
foundation, field measurements, seismic analysis of deep
foundations, design methods and assessments, model testing,
soil-pile interactions and predictions from testing methods in
deep foundations. This general report summarizes the various
latest developments in research and practice in the area of deep
foundations.
