Abstract:The rock socket is critical to a drilled shaft
foundation because it lies within a rock stratum
and accounts for much of the capacity of the
foundational unit. Consistency of the rock’s
structure and composition must be identifed
because it can be highly variable.This problem is
acute in Florida, where sand, clay, limestone, and
voids can be layered in highly variable geological
profiles. Unanticipated ground structure below
a site can cause significant construction delays
and disputes. Therefore, more accurate site
characterization is crucial for ensuring reliable
and economic substructure design.
