I reached out to another geotechnical engineer prior to writing this post and they...

    I am a new engineer designing a pile foundation. I have designed spread footings in college, but I am completely thrown by the presence of piles and I am hoping for resources that would be helpful for me. I have been given pile capacity charts by the geotechnical engineer and I would very much...
