structural design of drilled shafts

[pelelo]

Hello,

Anyone knows were can i find detailed information regarding the structural design of drilled shafts?.

Most of the references I got deal with the geotechnical design and very little information regarding the structural design.

I know I need to obtain the max moment from a lateral analysis (e.g from lpile) and compare this moment value with something else.I think i also need to evaluate the shear capacity.

Please let me know,

Thanks in advance

ACI 336.3R-93: Design and Construction of Drilled Piers (Reapproved 2006)

You also have the FHWA Manual:

ACI 336 in conjunction with ACI 318 will get you to where you need to be.

Also the CRSI handbook will help as well for sizing reinforcing in comparison to a circular column.
