This is a presentation slide show given by Mr. John G. Delphia, Texas Department of Transportation, Bridge Division, Geotechnical Branch Manager. It’s a nice overview of deep foundations for transportation structures, including both drilled shafts (which TxDOT has excelled at since the days of O’Neill and Reese) and driven piles.
In addition to our own terms and conditions, please note the terms and conditions of the slide show, which are contained in the last slide and which we agree with. We should also note that this slide show contains content from our companion site vulcanhammer.info, especially from our pages on differential acting hammers, leaders and onshore hammers.
