ABSTRACT

Normalized Load-Transfer Methods Reese and O'Neill (1988) analyzed a series of compression loading test data obtained from fullsized drilled piers in soil. They developed normalized relations for piers in cohesive and cohesionless soils. Figures 17.18 and 17.19 can be used to predict settlements of piers in cohesive soils and Figs. 17.20 and 17.21 in cohesionless soils including soil mixed with gravel.
