Abstract:

This report contains the results from full scale lateral load testing of two short rock socketed shafts in ; limestone, and the development of recommendations for p-y analysis using those results. Two short shafts 42 ; inches in diameter were constructed to depths of approximately seven feet in limestone in Wyandotte County, ; Kansas. The shafts were loaded laterally during three separate test events in 2009. The shafts were tested ; under cyclic loading (load reversal) at loads up to 400 kips; repeated loading up to 800 kips, and to failure near ; 1000 kips. ; Test data showed that shaft behavior was essentially elastic during cyclic loading for loads of 400 kips ; and lower (40% of ultimate capacity). The shafts experienced permanent, accumulating deformations during ; repeated loads of 600 and 800 kips. ; Modeling of the results showed the lateral load behavior could be effectively modeled in LPILE using the ; “weak rock” model included with LPILE software.
