friction pile versus belled caissoon design
friction pile versus belled caissoon design
(OP)
When calculating the embedment of friction piles one uses, vertical load, seismic load and creep. For iisolated pad footings we don't. If I'm designing a hand dug caisson (end bearing deep foundation) should I still include creep and seismic ? At which point a footing becomes a caisson (from a regular pad footing) , what depth is considered a turning point, 3'... 5'... 7' ?
