Resistance of a Drilled Shaft Footing to Overturning Loads, Model Tests and Correlation with Theory

摘要

The foundations of structures such as signboards, strain poles, and lighting poles should be designed using factors of safety consistent with the relative importance of the particular structure. The purpose of these tests was to evaluate certain coefficients introduced in the theoretical treatment and to establish the degree of precision to be expected in predicting ultimate loads with the new theoretical treatment.
