Abstract
Supplemental geotechnical investigations were conducted on two Detroit area projects with the purpose of optimizing design criteria for proposed drilled pier foundations. For both projects, the major effort involved the formulation, implementation and interpretation of a load test using an Osterberg load cell rather than conventional dead weight or reaction piers. Load and settlement trends were monitored with a series of strain gauges and telltales. Field data are presented in graphical form to illustrate the results of the load tests.

Drilled Pier Load Capacity of Detroit Area Hardpan Using an Overberg Load Cell
St. Louis, Missouri
Supplemental geotechnical investigations were conducted on two Detroit area projects with the purpose of optimizing design criteria for proposed drilled pier foundations. For both projects, the major effort involved the formulation, implementation and interpretation of a load test using an Osterberg load cell rather than conventional dead weight or reaction piers. Load and settlement trends were monitored with a series of strain gauges and telltales. Field data are presented in graphical form to illustrate the results of the load tests.
