Proceedings of a conference held in The Hague, the Netherlands in September 1992. The 97 papers are divided into 4 sections: geotechnical and environmental aspects, dynamic testing, performance during installation, and reliability of predictions. New themes considered in this conference are environmental aspects related to vibration and noise, and the reliability of predictions emphasizing the validations of theoretical methods and practical experience.

Comprising 97 papers presented at an international conference, this work focuses on four themes: geotechnical and environmental aspects; dynamic testing; performance during installation; and reliability of predictions.
Comprising 97 papers on Geotechnical & environmental aspects (Pile-soil modelling, vibrations); Dynamic testing (Equipment & data acquisition systems); Performance during installation (Driving equipment, hammer-pile-soil system); Reliability of predictions (Theory versus experiment and simulation). Each part starts with a lecture by invited keynote speakers; followed by a general report on the papers. New themes considered are environmental aspects related to vibration and noise & the reliability of predictions emphasizing the validation of theoretical methods & practical experience.
