Despite this long, successful history, foundation designers and contractors still do not fully appreciate what is called 'taper benefit', i.e. the fact that in friction- or floating-pile applications that tapered piles are generally much more cost effective than constant-perimeter piles on a load-bearing basis. This is because the unique physical mechanism of wedging by which tapered driven piles develop resistance to both axial-compressive and uplift loads is not fully understood and appreciated. Furthermore, this wedging mechanism develops in two stages, both during initial driving and during load application, so that a tapered driven pile literally develops more soil resistance with increasing axial-compressive load. This book explores the history of tapered piles and their unique behavioral nature to a granular level of detail that has not been published previously. This book is intended to be a resource document for both stakeholders involved in the selection, design, and construction of deep foundations as well as academicians for use in both teaching and research.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/sureshotbooks-com.myshopify.com\/search?type=product%2Carticle%2Cpage\u0026amp;q=AUTH-13543275\"\u003eJohn S.
