Drilled Shafts
• Commercial drill rig was used
• Shafts were larger in diameter than anticipated
―Desired diameter = 12 in.
―Actual diameter ≈ 18 in.
• Caving of soil was observed in all shafts

Formwork
• 12-in. Sonotubes were used above grade
• Sonotubes extended approximately 7 in. below grade
• Cages were centered within shafts
• Formwork was supported at grade and near top.
• Cables for strain gages and geophones were positioned outside the formwork before placing the concrete

Concrete Placement in Shafts
• Ready-mix concrete was placed using a concrete pump
• Concrete vibrator was used at grade and at the top of the shafts

Bent Caps
• Reinforcing cages for bent caps were tied on site
• Concrete was placed using a front-end loader
• Threaded rods were cast in the bent caps to apply lateral forces during static tests
• Adapter plate designed to accommodate the shaker from Thumper was embedded in fresh concrete
