Geotechnical Perspective?Proposed Drilled Shaft Standard

by Clyde N. Baker, Jr., STS Consultants Ltd, Northbrook, IL, USA,



Document Type: Proceeding Paper

Part of: Analysis and Design of Pile Foundations

Abstract:

In the writer's understanding, a standard is an agreed upon manual of practice and as such, sets the level of performance and attainment considered adequate. A standard is not a code nor is it a specification. The prime objective should be that, if followed, an adequately engineered and constructed end-product will result.
