ADSC/CALTRANS CIDH Pile Workshop Spring Overview of Structural Design and Detailing of Large Diameter Drilled Shafts (Caltrans Practice) Amir M. Malek, PE, PhD Senior Bridge Engineer (Technical Specialist) Office of Bridge Design Services California Department of Transportation

ADSC/CALTRANS CIDH Pile Workshop Spring Outline Types of Large Diameter Shafts and Comparison Design Highlights and Review of LRFD Requirements Communications of Structural and Geotechnical Designers for LRFD of Shafts Highlights of Seismic Design and Detailing Requirements per Caltrans Seismic Design Criteria (SDC) Case Study

ADSC/CALTRANS CIDH Pile Workshop Spring Applications and Types Used for high seismic loads also where small footprint is desirable Most effective where hard layer (rock) is reachable Used with/without casing Types I & II per SDC classification Type-I : More ductile performance, advantageous for short columns Type-II : Easier post-event repair, shaft enlargement of at least 18” (24” under study) to contain inelastic action to the column (SDC )
