Abstract:Drilled shafts are a type of deep foundation that is capable of supporting very large vertical and lateral loads. Drilled shafts are constructed by drilling a hole from the ground surface to the target depth or formation and filling the hole with reinforcing steel and concrete to create a reinforced concrete column from the surface to the desired depth.
This report contains the results from a full scale lateral load test of two short rock socketed shafts in limestone, and the development of recommendations for p-y analysis using those results. 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. A detailed description of the testing, analysis, and p-y curve recommendations is provided.
