 Project
Summary
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).
