A drilled shaft designed in accordance with the AASHTO code must support the following downward and uplift axial design loads: P = 850 k, Pup. = 270 k. The soil profile consists of: Undrained Shear Strength, s,, (lb/ft²) Depth (ft) Soil Description Unit Weight, y (lb/ft³) N60 0-15 Clayey silt 115 1200 15-35 Silty clay 112 1800 35-55 Sandy silt (nonplastic) 115 24 55-80 Silty sand 124 43 Practice Problems 597 The groundwater is at a depth of 50 ft. Using the AASHTO resistance factors, select a diameter and depth for a single drilled shaft to support these design loads. Use a load factor of 0.9 on the weight of the shaft. Note there are many different diameter-length combinations that would be satisfactory, but select one that you think would be most appropriate.

Load and resistance factor design

Load and resistance factors design (LRFD), also known as Limit state design (LSD), refers to the design method used in building engineering. A boundary condition is a condition of a structure where it can no longer meet the relevant design requirements. The condition may refer to the load level or other actions on the structure, while the terms refer to the integrity of the structure, suitability for use, durability, or other design requirements. A structure designed for LRFD is limited to keeping track of all possible actions during its design time and is always ready for use, with the appropriate level of reliability in each boundary condition. LRFD-based construction codes clearly define the appropriate levels of reliability in their instructions.
