Designing Drilled Shafts in Loess – Article posted

By Robert Thompson, on November 6th, 2007

I have added a copy of a recent article entiteld “Designing Drilled Shafts in Loess” that Dan was one of several co-authors in the August 2007 Edition of Foundation Drilling from the ADSC. The article is a preview of some research by the Kansas DOT through the University of Kansas on designing drilled shafts for lateral loading. This particular project is investigating the behavior of laterally loaded shafts in loess.
