Deep Foundations Part II: Proving Their Strength

Successful deep foundation projects include quality programs to validate the design assumptions and determine if the contractor can install the deep foundation as planned. For most projects, the quality program is structured around two distinct operating procedures: observations and testing. Observations Observations have been a part...
