Abstract:Ohio transportation projects are largely founded on three types of foundations: spread footings, drilled shafts, and driven piles. Spread footings are often used in areas where rock is near the surface or where there is competent soil and the structural loads are relatively light. Drilled shafts are almost always socketed into rock, and consequently are often used in areas of relatively shallow rock, which mostly correlate to the unglaciated portions of the state. Driven piles are frequently used in ODOT projects to support bridge structures. Closed-end cast in place reinforced concrete pipe (CIPP) piles are one of the driven piles commonly used in the glaciated portions of Ohio where more fine-grained soils are found.
