Three field load tests of drilled shafts socketed in Burlington limestone were conducted using the Osterberg load cell. The objective of these tests was to compare the shaft capacities obtained from the field load tests with capacities predicted using analytical methods and with typical presumptive design capacities.
Over the past 20 years, drilled shafts have demonstrated increasing popularity over drivenprecast piles. Drilled shafts can accommodate a wider range ...
The objectives of this research project were to validate the Phase I bearing capacity equations as well as methods for estimating footing settlement u...
