The Deep Foundations Institute (DFI) has just published a new report entitled “ Guidance for Factoring Deep Foundation Structural Resistance for Landslide Stabilization and Excavation Support “, Final Report, CPF-2017-LAND-1 . The authors are our very own Ben Turner, Dan Ding, Erik Loehr, and Paul Axtell.
To borrow from the authors’ introduction:
This report provides guidance for factoring deep foundation passive structural resistance for use in two-dimensional limit-equilibrium SSA, and is intended to serve as a consensus document on this subject. The report is divided into two main sections. The first section provides an overview of the basic framework for incorporating deep foundation elements into global stability analyses, followed by a discussion of the different possible methods for factoring (or not) structural resistance at different stages
