Abstract: Representative interpretation criteria are examined to evaluate the capacity of nonrigid drilled shaft foundations under lateral loading. A wide variety of lateral load test data are used for analysis, and these data are ...

Abstract: This paper is a critical evaluation of the interpretation criteria of drilled shafts under axial compression loading. A wide variety of load test data are used for analysis, and these data are divided into drained and ...

Abstract: Consolidated‐isotropically undrained, triaxial compression (CIUC), unconsolidated‐undrained, triaxial compression (UU), and unconfined compression (UC) test results were used to develop interrelationships for the undrained ...

Abstract: Representative interpretation criteria are examined to evaluate the capacity of drilled shaft foundations under axial uplift loading. A wide variety of uplift load test data are used, and these data are divided into drained ...

Abstract: This study compiles 320 static-load tests to quantify the model factors in reliability-based limit-state design of drilled shafts under axial loading. At ultimate limit-state, the model factor is defined as the ratio of ...

Abstract: Model factors for barrette piles at the ultimate limit state under compression loading were evaluated in this study. A total of 64 rectangular pile load test results from different locations around the world were compiled ...
