Abstract:This report provides a simplified method to be used for evaluating the skin friction and tip resistance of
axially loaded drilled shafts. A summary of literature and current practice was completed and then a
comprehensive set of field and laboratory tests was performed. Several soil samples were collected
from different sites from Arizona and surrounding states. Large scale direct shear apparatus was
developed and used to determine the friction between soil and concrete. Finite element analyses were
conducted on several prototype cases to determine effect of soil parameters such as dilation on the skin
friction values. A step-by-step simplified approach was introduced to determine the skin and tip
resistance of drilled shaft foundations in gravelly soils. An example application was presented to guide
users in utilizing the simplified approach.
