• 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.
