In this episode of Interviews with the Industry, host Tim Siegel, P.E., G.E., BC.GE, of Dan Brown and Associates, and guest Anne Lemnitzer, Ph.D., University of California, Irvine, complete their deep dive into piles — what every geotechnical engineer needs to know about lateral analysis of piles, p-y curves, shear spikes at the rock surface and (covered in this part) the rate of advancement of the displacement tool, as well as Anne's summary of the main points of the discussion.
