Coordonnateurs : Abu-Farsakh Murad, Alshibli Khalid, Puppala Anand
This volume on ?Advances in Analysis and Design of Deep Foundations? contains 22 technical papers which cover various aspects of analysis and design of deep foundations based on full-scale field testing, numerical modeling, and analytical solutions. The technical papers are 8-10 pages long that present the results and findings from research as well as practical-oriented studies on deep foundations that are of interest to civil/geotechnical engineering community. The topics cover a wide spectrum of applications that include evaluation of the axial and lateral capacity of piles, pile group effects, evaluation of the increase in pile capacity with time (or pile setup), influence of excavation on pile capacity, study the behavior of pile raft caisson foundations, evaluate the bearing capacity and settlement of piles from cone penetration tests, etc. This volume is part of the proceedings of the 1st GeoMEast International Congress and Exhibition on Sustainable Civil Infrastructures, Egypt 2017.
Murad Y. Abu-Farsakh, Ph.D., P.E.
Dr. Abu-Farsakh received his Ph.D. degree in Civil Engineering in 1997 from Louisiana State University (LSU). Currently he is working as a Research Professor and Director of Geotechnical Engineering Research Laboratory at the Louisiana Transportation Research Center (LTRC) / College of Engineering, LSU. Dr. Abu-Farsakh has a vast knowledge and experience on research related to geotechnical and pavement engineering, deep foundation, geosynthetics, field instrumentations and monitoring, advanced laboratory and in-situ testing, soil-structure interaction and finite element numerical modeling. Dr. Abu-Farsakh’s research is highly appreciated by the professional community, which resulted in a scholarly record of 160+ publications including 110 Journal and Geotechnical Special Publications. He gave about 100 presentation to national and international conferences. Dr. Abu-Farsakh supervised 7 Ph.D. and 14 M.S. students and is currently advising an additional 4 Ph.D. and 4 M.S. students.
Dr. Abu-Farsakh is currently serving as a member of several national and international committees, such as ASCE Geo-Institute committee on Deep Foundation, ASCE Geo-Institute committee on Engineering Geology and Site Characterization, ASCE Geo-Institute committee on Geosynthetics, TRB committee on Soil and Rock Properties, TRB committee on Geosynthetics, and a member of Deep Foundation Institute, DFI.
