Foundation capacity increase
Foundation capacity increase
(OP)
Hi, have you ever use or gotten a recommendation for increasing the lateral capacity of piles for short term loads? I think that this (1/3 increment in capacity) is more applicable for axial capacities (although ASCE 7-10 does not indicate this explicitly). Any feedback will be appreciated.






RE: Foundation capacity increase
Now, if you're talking about some sort of geotechnical response in the short-term due to an undrained cohesive material or something like that... that's a different animal (that you should take up with the geotechnical engineer who prescribed it). But I suspect that's not what you mean.
