In addition, Nondestructive Testing is being increasingly specified in deep foundation projects, though often without a good understanding of its limitations and with the result that methods are often misused. In order to be able to specify an appropriate method, or to recognize an inappropriate specification, it is necessary for the engineer, specifier and\/or contractor to understand the capabilities and limitations of each of the methods currently in use.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003ci\u003eNondestructive Testing of Deep Foundations\u003c\/i\u003e:\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cul\u003e \u003cli\u003eDescribes the most commonly used deep foundation construction techniques, including typical use of material\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eProvides a brief history of the development of commercially available nondestructive methods\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eSummarises each method's capabilities and limitations\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eActs as a one stop reference drawing together resources only previously available in conference proceedings and journal papers\u003c\/li\u003e \u003c\/ul\u003e \u003cp\u003eThis manual will prove to be a welcome addition to the bookshelf of all practitioners in civil\/structural and geotechnical engineering and architecture.
