Read the underpinning chapters in books by Winterkorn & Fang, Robert Ratay, and Alan McNabb.
I have found the following:
Earth Retention Systems Handbook ~ Alan Macnab
Foundation Engineering Handbook ~ Hans F. Winterkorn & Hsai-Yang Fang
Handbook of Temporary Structures in Construction ~ Robert Ratay
Structural Condition Assessment by Robert T. Ratay
Are these the recommended books for underpinning?

Go to the web site for ADSC: The International Association of Foundation Drilling. They sell the book. ADSC's Item Code is TL173. I think there is a link to their web site on my web site.

I don't know what other books there are. But I'll bet there's no books that can match sitting down with an installer of these systems.
RE: Books for underpinning
Most of the underpinning books rehash the 1931 and 1950 underpinning books from Edmund Astley Prentis and Lazarus White titled Underpinning. The book is very hard to find. I paid several hundred dollars recently for a 1950 edition.
