Full Scale Testing of RC Pile Foundation Systems for Highway Bridges (NEES-2005-0093)

<p><strong>Title:</strong> Full Scale Testing of RC Pile Foundation Systems for Highway Bridges (NEES-2005-0093)</p> <p><b>Year Of Curation: </b>2014</p> <p><b>Description: </b>This project investigates the lateral performance of full-scale cast-in-drilled-hole (CIDH) shafts. Several shafts of varying diameter, head condition, and group configuration will be tested. The shaft instrumentation, installed externally and internally, captures shaft deformations that are induced by external lateral loads applied at the surface. Data from these deformation measurements are used to validate discrete element models (p-y springs) as well as continuum models (finite element). </p> <p><b>Award: </b>Caltrans 59A0247</p> <p><b>PIs & CoPIs: </b>Jonathan Stewart</p> <p><b>Dates: </b>July 01, 2005 - December 31, 2006</p> <p><b>Organizations: </b>University of California, Los Angeles, CA, United States</p> <p><b>Facilities: </b>University of California, Los Angeles, CA, United States</p> <p><b>Sponsor: </b>Caltrans - 59A0247</p> <p><b>Keywords: --</b></p> <p><b>Publications: --</b></p> <nb:citations></nb:citations>
