Abstract:Despite possessing several advantages, drilled shafts are used infrequently
in Iowa. The soil conditions in several regions of the state are ideal for
using this foundation option. The reasons for the limited use of drilled
shafts can be attributed to the following:
• Lack of a formal process for selection of appropriate foundation types,
especially in evaluating the advantages of drilled shafts over driven
piles
• Limited design guidelines and details for drilled shafts in the Iowa
Bridge Design Manual
• Absence of standard construction inspection checklists for drilled
shafts
Furthermore, the resistance factors for drilled shafts recommended in
the American Association of State Highway and Transportation Officials
(AASHTO) Load and Resistance Factor Design (LRFD) Bridge Design
Specifications (2010) were determined based on a general national
database that does not reflect local design and construction practices and
the regional soil conditions.
