Less invasive than a traditional poured foundation, using helical piles
as a foundation gains points in the USGBC's LEED rating system, making
this an important green building technology. Helical Pile Sourcebook
offers a practical, real-world approach to the design and installation
of helical piles. With unbiased and non-proprietary coverage of the
technology and available products, it reviews existing proprietary
systems and discusses their pros and cons, as well as when to use
helical pile technology over other foundation types. This is an
essential resource for students and professionals in engineering,
architecture, and construction.
