Geotechnical Engineering and Underground Structures

In this paper pile foundation design and soil-structure interaction are referred. The ultimate limit states and serviceability limit states are introduced. The potentially liquefiable soils and remedial measures are addressed. Two case studies related with pile design of New Tagus bridge based in pile load tests and the pile design and liquefaction potential evaluation of Leziria bridge foundations are presented. Some conclusions are drawn.
