Abstract:The Federal Highway Administration (FHWA) began the development of the first version of the Deep Foundation Load Test Database (DFLTD) in the 1980s. Over 1,500 load tests were collected and stored for various types of piles and drilled shafts in different soil conditions. As part of a new FHWA research study initiated in 2014 to investigate and update FHWA technical references for the design of large diameter open-end piles (LDOEPs) using the load and resistance factor design (LRFD) framework, load tests on LDOEPs had to be collected. As part of this task, an updated version of the FHWA Deep Foundation Load Test Database (DFLTD v.2) was created, bringing in all of the existing data as well as the new data collected during this study. This DFLTD v.2 user manual provides an overview and instruction and the use of the new deep foundation load test database developed for the project. The document describes database installation procedures and the DeepFoundationView module. This user manual also describes the database query tools along with the process for data retrieval, data entry, and data visualization.
