• Abstract:
  Sign structures in Wisconsin are typically supported by drilled shaft foundations or spread
  
  footing foundations. However, when the soil conditions are not suitable to be supported on
  
  drilled shafts or spread footings, a group of piles could support the foundation. Large sign
  
  structures are subject to large lateral wind loads, which result in large lateral forces and overturning
  
  moments. These lateral forces and overturning moments produce both uplift loads and downward
  
  loads on the pile foundation. However, published methods for designing driven pile groups only
  
  address groups subjected either to compression or uplift, not both simultaneously. This research
  
  project investigated the behavior of the group of piles under both compression and uplift loads.
