Abstract:

This report provides assessment from information and analysis for three drilled shaft walls in service in Houston, Texas. The three walls have been in service for 14, 9 and 2 years, respectively, and have cantilevered heights ranging from 5 to 23 feet. A field inspection of each wall revealed no obvious signs of significant distress. Based on L-Pile analyses, earth pressures greater than a linear increase of 80 psf/ft would likely be required to produce significant distress that could be readily observed in these walls.
