Drilled Shaft subject to lateral loads & torsion
Drilled Shaft subject to lateral loads & torsion
(OP)
I am designing drilled shaft sign foundations in SAND and I am getting very deep foundations using the BROMS method and side friction. There must be a better approach to designing drilled shafts under lateral and torional loading. One that can take advantage of the head pressure on the shaft from the wet concrete. Any references or ideas?

Have your geotech perform a LPile (p-y) analysis.

See the link below for Florida DOT design standards. I recall that "wings" are added to the shaft to resist torsion rather than resorting to excessive shaft length. I haven't opened the file as it may require microstation which I don't have.

Hope this helps.
