Full Length Reinforcing in Large Diameter Pier?
Full Length Reinforcing in Large Diameter Pier?
(OP)
For a 5' diameter straight shaft drilled pier, combination friction and end bearing, lengths 70-90', would you consider dropping off the vertical reinforcing at some point? Surrounding soils are capable of providing lateral support for the entire length of the pier.
