Drilled Shafts
Learning Outcomes
g At
the end of this session, the
participant will be able to:
- Contrast driven piles and drilled shafts
- Compare mobilization of base (tip) and
side (shaft) resistance
- Describe drilled shaft construction
processes
- Discuss the need for quality control for
drilled shaft construction

Example 9-5
g FS=2.5
g Ultimate axial load = (2.5)(170) = 425 tons
g Assume a 3-ft diameter straight shaft
g Thus, circumference = d = 9.42-ft
g Assume a shaft length of 60-ft
