'

The compilation of these specifications began in 1921 with the organization of the Committee on Bridges and Structures of the American Association of State Highway Officials. During the period from 1921, until printed in 1931, the specifications were gradually developed, and as the several divisions were approved from time to time, they were made available in mimeographed form for use of the State Highway Departments and other organizations. A complete specification was available in 1926 and it was revised in 1928. Though not in printed form, the specifications were valuable to the bridge engineering profession during the period of development. The first edition of the Standard Specifications was published in 1931, and it was followed by the 1935, 1941, 1944, 1949, 1953, 1957, 1961, 1965, 1969, 1973. 1977, 1983, 1989, 1992, and 1996 revised editions. The present seventeenth edition constitutes a revision of the 1996 specifications, including those changes adopted since the publication of the sixteenth edition and those through 2002. In the past, Interim Specifications were usually published in the middle of the calendar year, and a revised edition of this book was generally published every 4 years. However, since the Federal Highway Administration and the States have established a goal that the LRFD standards be used on all new bridge designs after 2007, only edits related to technical errors in the seventeenth edition will be made hereafter. These Standard Specifications are applicable to new structure designs prior to 2007 and for the maintenance and rehabilitation of existing structures. Future revisions will have the same status as standards of the American Association of State Highway and Transportation Officials (AASHTO) and are approved by at least two-thirds of the Subcommittee on Bridges and Structures. These revisions are voted on by the Association Member Departments prior to the publication of a new edition of this book, and if approved by at least two-thirds of the members, they are included in a new edition as standards of the Association. Members of the Association are the 50 State Highway or Transportation Departments. the District of Columbia, and Puerto Rico. Each member has one vote. The U.S. Department of Transportation is a nonvoting member. Future revisions will be displayed on AASHTO's website via a link from the title's book code listing, HB-17, in the Bookstore of www.transportation.org. An e-mail notification will also be sent to previous purchasers notifying them that a revision is available for download. Please check the site periodically to ensure that you have the most up-to-date and accurate information. The Standard Specifications for Highway Bridges are intended to serve as a standard or guide for the preparation of State specifications and for reference by bridge engineers. Primarily, the specifications set forth minimum requirements which are consistent with current practice, and certain modifications may be necessary to suit local conditions. They apply to ordinary highway bridges and supplemental specifications may be required for unusual types and for bridges with spans longer than 500 feet. Specifications of the American Society for Testing and Materials (ASTM), the American Welding Society, the American Wood Preservers Association, and the National Forest Products Association are referred to, or are recognized. Numerous research bulletins are noted for references. The American Association of State Highway and Transportation Officials wishes to express its sincere appreciation to the above organizations, as well as to those universities and representatives of industry whose research efforts and consultations have been most helpful in continual improvement of these specifications. Extensive references have been made to the Standard Specifications for Transportation Materials and Methods of Sampling and Testing also published by AASHTO, including equivalent ASTM specifications which have been reproduced in the Association's Standard Specifications by permission of the American Society for Testing and Materials.

The vertical clearance between curbs shall be not less than 14 feet. 2.5.4 Curbs

The width of curbs shall be not less than 18 inches. The height of curbs shall be as specified for bridges. For heavy traffic roads, roadway widths greater than the above minima are recommended. If traffic lane widths exceed 12 feet the roadway width may be reduced 2 feet 0 inches from that calculated from Figure 2.5. 2.6 HIGHWAY CLEARANCES FOR DEPRESSED ROADWAYS 2.6.1 Roadway Width The clear width between curbs shall be not less than that specified for tunnels. 2.6.2 Clearance between Walls The minimum width between walls for depressed roadways carrying two lanes of traffic shall be 30 feet. 2.6.3 Curbs The width of curbs shall be not less than 18 inches. The height of curbs shall be as specified for bridges.

2. 7.1.1.1 Although the primary purpose of traffic railing is to contain the average vehicle using the structure, consideration should also be given to (a) protection of the occupants of a vehicle in collision with the railing, (b) protection of other vehicles near the collision, (c) protection of vehicles or pedestrians on roadways underneath the structure, and (d) appearance and freedom of view from passing vehicles. 2. 7.1.1.2 Materials for traffic railings shall be concrete, metal, timber, or a combination thereof. Metal materials with less than l 0-percent tested elongation shall not be used.

2. 7.1 .1.3 Traffic railings should provide a smooth, continuous face of rail on the traffic side with the posts set back from the face of rail. Structural continuity in the rail members, including anchorage of ends, is essential. The railing system shall be able to resist the applied loads at all locations. 2. 7.1.1.4 Protrusions or depressions at rail joints shall be acceptable provided their thickness or depth is no greater than the wall thickness of the rail member or 3/s inch, whichever is less. 2.7.1.1.5 Careful attention shall be given to the treatment of railings at the bridge ends. Exposed rail ends, posts, and sharp changes in the geometry of the railing shall be avoided. A smooth transition by means of a continuation of the bridge barrier, guardrail anchored to the bridge end, or other effective means shall be provided to protect the traffic from direct collision with the bridge rail ends.

For fabrication and welding of aluminum railing, see Article 11.5. 2.7.4.2 The allowable unit stresses for steel shall be as given in Article I 0.32, except as modified below. For steels not generally covered by these Specifications, but having a guaranteed yield strength, Fy. the allowable unit stress, shall be derived by applying the general formulas as given in these Specifications under "Unit Stresses" except as indicated below. The allowable unit stress for shear shall be Fv = 0.33Fy. Round or oval steel tubes may be proportioned using an allowable bending stress, Fb = 0.66Fy. provided the Rlt ratio (radius/thickness) is less than or equal to 40.

Square and rectangular steel tubes and steel W and I sections in bending with tension and compression on extreme fibers of laterally supported compact sections having an axis of symmetry in the plane of loading may be designed for an allowable stress Fb = 0.60Fy.

2.7.4.3 The requirements for a compact section are as follows: (a) The width to thickness ratio of projecting elements of the compression flange of W and I sections shall not exceed (2-1)

(b) The width to thickness ratio of the compression flange of square or rectangular tubes shall not exceed (2-2)

Where substructure units will be supported on deep foundations, the depth of the subsurface exploration shall extend a minimum of 20 feet below the anticipated pile or shaft tip elevation. Where pile or shaft groups will be used, the subsurface exploration shall extend at least two times the maximum pile group dimension below the anticipated tip elevation, unless the foundations will be end bearing on or in rock. For piles bearing on rock, a minimum of 10 feet of rock core shall be obtained at each exploration location to insure the exploration has not been terminated on a boulder. For shafts supported on or extending into rock, a minimum of 10 feet of rock core, or a length of rock core equal to at least three times the shaft diameter for isolated shafts or two times the maximum shaft group dimension for a shaft group, whichever is greater, shall be obtained to insure the exploration has not terminated in a boulder and to determine the physical characteristics of rock within the zone of foundation influence for design.

4.3.3 Minimum Coverage A minimum of one soil boring shaiJ be made for each substructure unit. (See Article 7 .1.1 for definition of substructure unit.) For substructure units over I 00 feet in width, a minimum of two borings shall be required.

4.3.4 Laboratory Testing Laboratory testing shalJ be performed as necessary to determine engineering properties including unit weight, shear strength, compressive strength and compressibility. In the absence of laboratory testing, engineering properties may be estimated based on published test results or local experience.

4.3.5 Scour The probable depth of scour shall be determined by subsurface exploration and hydraulic studies. Refer to Article 1.3.2 and FHWA (1988) for general guidance regarding hydraulic studies and design.

4.4.1.2 Footings Supporting Non-Rectangular Columns or Piers Footings supporting circular or regular polygonshaped concrete columns or piers may be designed assuming that the columns or piers act as square members with the same area for location of critical sections for moment, shear, and development of reinforcement.

4.4.1.3 Footings in Fill Footings located in fill are subject to the same bearing capacity, settlement, and dynamic ground stability considerations as footings in natural soil in accordance with Articles 4.4.7.1 through 4.4.7.3. The behavior of both the fill and underlying natural soil shall be considered.

4.4.1.4 Footings in Sloped Portions of Embankments The earth pressure against the back of footings and columns within the sloped portion of an embankment shall be equal to the at-rest earth pressure in accordance with Article 5.5.2. The resistance due to the passive earth pressure of the embankment in front of the footing shall be neglected to a depth equal to a minimum depth of 3 feet, the depth of anticipated scour, freeze thaw action, and/or trench excavation in front of the footing, whichever is greater.

4.4.1.5 Distribution of Bearing Pressure Footings shall be designed to keep the maximum soil and rock pressures within safe bearing values. To prevent unequal settlement, footings shall be designed to keep the bearing pressure as nearly uniform as practical. For footings supported on piles or drilled shafts, the spacing between piles and drilled shafts shall be designed to ensure nearly equal loads on deep foundation elements as may be practical. When footings support more than one column, pier, or wall, distribution of soil pressure shall be consistent with properties of the foundation materials and the structure, and with the principles of geotechnical engineering.

Factors of Safety

Spread footings on soil shall be designed for Group 1 loadings using a minimum factor of safety (FS) of 3.0 against a bearing capacity failure.

4.4.7.2 Settlement

.

.

The total settlement includes elastic, consolidation, and secondary components and may be determined using the following:

Elastic settlement shall be determined using the unfactored dead load, plus the unfactored component of live and impact loads assumed to extend to the footing level. Consolidation and secondary settlement may be determined using the full unfactored dead load only. O.ther factors which can affect settlement (e.g., embankment loading, lateral and/or eccentric loading, and for footings on granular soils. vibration loading from dynamic live loads or earthquake loads) should also be considered, where appropriate. Refer to Gifford, et al., ( 1987) for general guidance regarding static loading conditions and Lam and Martin (1986) for guidance regarding dynamic/seismic loading conditions.

4.4. 7.2.1

Stress Distribution

Figure 4.4.7.2.1A may be used to estimate the distribution of vertical stress increase below circular (or square) and long rectangular footings (i.e., where L > 5B). For other footing geometries, refer to Poulos and Davis (1974). Some methods used for estimating settlement of footings on sand include an integral method to account for the effects of vertical stress increase variations. Refer to Gifford, et al., ( 1987) for guidance regarding application of these procedures.

Factors Affecting Axial Capacity in Soil

Soil Layering and Variable Soil Strength with Depth

The design of shafts in layered soil deposits or soil deposits having variable strength with depth requires evaluation of soil parameters characteristic of the respective layers or depths. Qs in such soil deposits may be estimated by dividing the shaft into layers according to soil type and properties. determining Qs for each layer. and summing values for each layer to obtain the total Q 8 • If the soil below the shaft tip is of variable consistency, Qr may be estimated using the predominant soil strata within 2B below the shaft tip. For shafts extending through soft compressible layers to tip bearing on firm soil or rock, consideration shall be

given to the effects of negative skin friction (Article 4.6.5.2.5) due to the consolidation settlement of soils surrounding the shaft. Where the shaft tip would bear on a thin firm soil layer underlain by a softer soil unit, the shaft shall be extended through the softer soil unit to eliminate the potential for a punching shear failure into the softer deposit.

4.6.5.2.2

Ground Water

The highest anticipated water level shall be used for design.

4.6.5.2.3

Enlarged Bases

An enlarged base (bell or underream) may be used at the shaft tip in stiff cohesive soil to increase the tip bearing area and reduce the unit end bearing pressure, or to provide additional resistance to uplift loads. The tip capacity of an enlarged base shall be determined assuming that the entire base area is effective in transferring load. Allowance of full effectiveness of the enlarged base shall be permitted only when cleaning of the bottom of the drilled hole is specified and can be acceptably completed before concrete placement.

4.6.5.2.4

Group Action

Evaluation of group shaft capacity assumes the effects of negative skin friction (if any) are negligible.

4.6.5.2.4./

Cohesive Soil

Evaluation of group capacity of shafts in cohesive soil shall consider the presence and contact of a cap with the ground surface and the spacing between adjacent shafts. For a shaft group with a cap in firm contact with the ground, Qu11 may be computed as the lesser of (I) the sum of the individual capacities of each shaft in the group or (2) the capacity of an equivalent pier defined in the perimeter area of the group. For the equivalent pier, the

HIGHWAY BRIDGES

84

shear strength of soil shall not be reduced by any factor (e.g., a 1) to determine the Qs component of Qu1tt the total base area of the equivalent pier shall be used to determine the Qr component of Qu~., and the additional capacity of the cap shall be ignored. If the cap is not in firm contact with the ground, or if the soil at the surface is loose or soft, the individual capacity of each shaft should be reduced to t times Qr for an isolated shaft, where t = 0.67 for a center-to-center (CTC) spacing of 38 and t = 1.0 for a CTC spacing of 68. For intermediate spacings, the value oft may be determined by linear interpolation. The group capacity may then be computed as the lesser of ( 1) the sum of the modified individual capacities of each shaft in the group, or (2) the capacity of an equivalent pier as described above.

4.6.5.2.4.2

Cohesionless Soil

Evaluation of group capacity of shafts in cohesionless soil shall consider the spacing between adjacent shafts. Regardless of cap contact with the ground, the individual capacity of each shaft should be reduced to t times Qr for an isolated shaft, where t = 0.67 for a center-to-center (CTC) spacing of 3B and t = 1.0 for a CTC spacing of 88. For intermediate spacings. the value oft may be determined by linear interpolation. The group capacity may be computed as the lesser of (I) the sum of the modified individual capacities of each shaft in the group or (2) the capacity of an equivalent pier circumscribing the group, including resistance over the entire perimeter and base areas.

4.6.5.2.4.3

Group in Strong Soil Overlying Weaker Soil

If a group of shafts is embedded in a strong soil deposit which overlies a weaker deposit (cohesionless and cohesive soil), consideration shall be given to the potential for a punching failure of the tip into the weaker soil strata. For this case, the unit tip capacity of the equivalent shaft (qE) may be determined using the following:

If the underlying soil unit is a weaker cohesive soil strata, careful consideration shall be given to the potential for large settlements in the weaker layer.

4.6.5.2.5

Vertical Ground Movement

The potential for external loading on a shaft by vertical ground movement (i.e., negative skin friction/downdrag due to settlement of compressible soil or uplift due to heave of expansive soil) shall be considered as a part of

4.6.5.2.4.1

design. For design purposes, it shall be assumed that the full magnitude of maximum potential vertical ground movement occurs. Evaluation of negative skin friction shall include a load-transfer method of analysis to determine the neutral point (i.e., point of zero relative displacement) and load distribution along shaft (e.g., Reese and O'Neill, 1988). Due to the possible time dependence associated with vertical ground movement, the analysis shall consider the effect of time on load transfer between the ground and shaft and the analysis shall be performed for the time period relating to the maximum axial load transfer to the shaft. Shafts designed for and constructed in expansive soil shall extend to a sufficient depth into moisture-stable soils to provide adequate anchorage to resist uplift movement. In addition, sufficient clearance shall be provided between the ground surface and underside of caps or beams connecting shafts to preclude the application of uplift loads at the shaft/cap connection from swelling ground conditions. Uplift capacity shall rely only on side resistance in conformance with Article 4.6.5.1. If the shaft has an enlarged base, Qs shall be determined in conformance with Article 4.6.5.2.3.

4.6.5.2.6 Method of Constntction The load capacity and deformation behavior of drilled shafts can be greatly affected by the quality and method(s) of construction. The effects of construction methods are incorporated in design by application of a factor of safety consistent with the expected construction method(s) and level of field quality control measures (Article 4.6.5.4). Where the spacing between shafts in a group is restricted, consideration shall be given to the sequence of construction to minimize the effect of adjacent shaft construction operations on recently constructed shafts.

4.6.5.3 Axial Capacity in Rock Drilled shafts are socketed into rock to limit axial displacements, increase load capacity and/or provide fixity for resistance to lateral loading. In determining the axial capacity of drilled shafts with rock sockets, the side resistance from overlying soil deposits may be ignored. '!Ypically, axial compression load is carried solely by the side resistance on a shaft socketed into rock until a total shaft settlement (p5 ) on the order of 0.4 inches occurs. At this displacement, the ultimate side resistance, QsR, is mobilized and slip occurs between the concrete and rock. As a result of this slip, any additional load is transferred to the tip. The design procedures assume the socket is constructed in reasonably sound rock that is little affected by

4.6.5.3

c

DIVISION I-DESIGN

construction (i.e., does not rapidly degrade upon excavation and/or exposure to air or water) and which is cleaned prior to concrete placement (i.e., free of soil and other debris). If the rock is degradable, consideration of special construction procedures, larger socket dimensions, or reduced socket capacities should be considered.

4.6.5.3.1

85

4.6.5.3.2

Tip Resistance

Evaluation of ultimate tip resistance (Qn) for rocksocketed drilled shafts shall consider the influence of rock discontinuities. QTR for rock-socketed drilled shafts may be determined using the following: (4.6.5.3.2-1)

Side Resistance

Preferably, values of Co should be determined from the results of laboratory testing of rock cores obtained within 2B of the base of the footing. Where rock strata within this interval are variable in strength, the rock with the lowest capacity should be used to determine QTR· Alternatively, Table 4.4.8.1.2B may be used as a guide to estimate C 0 • For rocks defined by very poor quality, the value of Qn cannot be less than the value of QT for an equivalent soil mass.

The ultimate side resistance (QsR) for shafts socketed into rock may be determined using the following:

Refer to Figure 4.6.5.3.1A for values of qsR- For uplift loading Qu11 of a rock socket shall be limited to 0.7QsR· The design of rock sockets shall be based on the unconfined compressive strength of the rock mass (Cm) or concrete, whichever is weaker (ac)- C 111 may be estimated using the following relationship: (4.6.5.3.1-2)

• Sockets embedded in alternating layers of weak and strong rock shall be designed using the strength of the weaker rock. • The side resistance provided by soft or weathered rock should be neglected in determining the required socket length where a socket extends into more competent underlying rock. Rock is defined as soft when the uniaxial compressive strength of the weaker rock is less than 20% of that of the stronger rock, or weathered when the RQD is less than 20%. • Where the tip of a shaft would bear on thin rigid rock strata underlain by a weaker unit, the shaft shall be extended into or through the weaker unit (depending on load capacity or deformation requirements) to eliminate the potential for failure due to flexural tension or punching failure of the thin rigid stratum. • Shafts designed to bear on strata in which the rock surface is inclined should extend to a sufficient depth to ensure that the shaft tip is fully bearing on the rock. • Shafts designed to bear on rock strata. in which bedding planes are not perpendicular to the shaft axis shall extend a minimum depth of2B into the dipping strata to minimize the potential for shear failure along natural bedding planes and other slippage surfaces associated with stratification.

4.6.5.3.3.2

Rock Mass Discontinuities

The strength and compressibility of rock will be affected by the presence of discontinuities (joints and fractures). The influence of discontinuities on shaft behavior will be dependent on their attitude, frequency and condition, and shall be evaluated on a case-by-case basis as necessary.

4.6.5.3.3.3

Method of Construction

The effect of the method of construction on the engineering properties of the rock and the contact between the rock and shaft shall be considered as a part of the design process.

4.6.5.4 Factors of Safety Drilled shafts in soil or socketed in rock shall be designed for a minimum factor of safety of 2.0 against bearing capacity f()ilure (end bearing, side resistance or combined) when the design is based on the results of a load test conducted at. the site. Otherwise. shafts shall be designed for a minimum factor of safety 2.5. The minimum recommended factors of safety are based on an assumed normal level of field quality control during shaft construction. If a normal level of field quality control cannot be assured, higher minimum factors of safety shall be used.

4.6.5.3.3.1

4.6.5.5 Deformation of Axially Loaded Shafts The settlement of axially loaded shafts at working or allowable loads shall be estimated using elastic or load transfer analysis methods. For most cases. elastic analysis will be applicable for design provided the stress levels in the shaft are moderate relative to Qu11 • Where stress levels are high, consideration should be given to methods of load transfer analysis.

4.6.5.5.1

Shafts in Soil

Settlements should be estimated for the design or working load.

4.6.5.5.1.1

Cohesive Soil

The short-term settlement of shafts in cohesive soil may be estimated using Figures 4.6.5.5.1.1 A and 4.6.5.5.1.18. The curves presented indicate the proportions of the ultimate side resistance (Qs) and ultimate tip resistance (Qr) mobilized at various magnitudes of settlement. The total axial load on the shaft (Q) is equal to the sum of the mobilized side resistance (Qs) and mobilized tip resistance (Q1). The settlement in Figure 4.6.5.5.1.JA incorpomtes the effects of elastic shortening of the shaft provided the shaft is oftypicallength (i.e., D < 100ft). For longer shafts, the effects of elastic shortening may be estimated using the following:

Pe

= PD/AEc

(4.6.5.5.1.1-1)

For a shaft with an enlarged base in cohesive soil, the diameter of the shaft at the base (8b) should be used in Figure 4.6.5.5.1.18 to estimate shaft settlement at the tip. Refer to Article 4.4. 7 .2.3 for procedures to estimate the consolidation settlement component for shafts extending into cohesive soil deposits.

4.6.5.5.1.2

Cohesionless Soil

The short-term settlement of shafts in cohesionless soil may be estimated using Figures 4.6.5.5. I .2A and 4.6.5.5. I .28. The curves presented indicate the proportions of the ultimate side resistance (Qs) and ultimate tip resistance (Qr) mobilized at various magnitudes of settlement. The total axial load on the shaft (Q) is equal to the sum of the mobilized side resistance (Qs) and mobilized tip resistance (Q1). Elastic shortening of the shaft shall be estimated using the following relationship:

4.6.5.6.1.3 Scour

The potential for loss of lateral capacity due to scour shall be considered in the design. Refer to Article 1.3.2 and FHWA (1988) for general guidance regarding hydraulic studies and design. If heavy scour is expected, consideration shall be given to designing the portion of the shaft that would be exposed as a column. In all cases, the shaft length shall be determined such that the design structural load can be safely supported entirely below the probable scour depth. 4.6.5.6.1.4 Group Action

There is no reliable rational method for evaluating the group action for closely spaced, laterally loaded shafts. Therefore, as a general guide, drilled shafts in a group may be considered to act individually when the center-to-center (CTC) spacing is greater than 2.5B in the direction normal to loading, and CTC > 8B in the direction parallel to loading. For shaft layouts not conforming to these criteria, the effects of shaft interaction shall be considered in the design. As a general guide, the effects of group action for in-line CTC < 8B may be considered using the ratios (COS, 1985) appearing on page 89.

Cyclic Loading

The effects of traffic, wind, and other nonseismic cyclic loading on the load-deformation behavior of laterally loaded drilled shafts shall be considered during design. Analysis of drilled shafts subjected to cyclic loading may be considered in the COM624 analysis (Reese, 1984).

4.6.5.6.1.6

Combined Axial and Lateral Loading

The effects of lateral loading in combination with axial loading shall be considered in the design. Analysis of drilled shafts subjected to combined loading may be considered in the COM624 analysis (Reese, 1984).

~

\~

For drilled shafts which extend through or below sloping ground, the potential for additional lateral loading shall be considered in the design. The general method of analysis developed by Borden and Gabr ( 1987) may be used for the analysis of shafts in stable slopes. For shafts in marginally stable slopes, additional consideration should be given for ' low factors of safety against slope failure or slopes showing ground creep, or when shafts extend through fills overlying soft foundation soils and bear into more competent underlying soil or rock formations. For unstable ground, detailed explorations, testing and analysis are required to evaluate potential additional lateral loads due to slope movements.

4.6.5.6.2

Tolerable Lateral Movements

Tolerable lateral displacement criteria for drilled shaft foundations shall be developed by the structural designer consistent with the function and type of structure, fixity of bearings, anticipated service life, and consequences of unacceptable displacements on the structure performance. Drilled shaft lateral displacement analysis shall be based on the results of in-situ and/or laboratory testing to characterize the load-deformation behavior of the foundation materials.

General

Drilled shafts shall be designed to insure that the shaft will not collapse or suffer loss of serviceability due to excessive stress and/or deformation. Shafts shall be designed to resist failure following applicable procedures presented in Section 8. All shafts should be sized in 6-inch increments with a minimum shaft diameter of I 8 inches. The diameter of shafts with rock sockets should be sized a minimum of 6 inches larger than the diameter of the socket. The diameter of columns supported by shafts shall be less than or equal to B.

4.6.6.2 Reinforcement Where the potential for lateral loading is insignificant, driJied shafts need to be reinforced for axial loads only. Those portions of drilled shafts that are not supported laterally shall be designed as reinforced concrete columns in accordance with Articles 8.15.4 and 8.16.4, and the reinforcing steel shall extend a minimum of 10 feet below the plane where the soil provides adequate lateral restraint. Where permanent steel casing is used and the shell is smooth pipe and more than 0.12 inch in thickness, it may be considered as load carrying in the absence of corrosion. The design of longitudinal and spiral reinforcement shaH be in conformance with the requirements of Articles 8.18. I and 8.18.2.2, respectively.

4.6.6.2.2

Splices

Splices shall develop the full capacity of the bar in tension and compression. The location of splices shall be staggered around the perimeter of the reinforcing cage so as not to occur at the same horizontal plane.

The reinforcement cage shall be centered in the hole using centering devices. All steel centering devices shall be epoxy coated.

4.6.6.2.6 Reinforcement into Superstructure Sufficient reinforcement shall be provided at the junction of the shaft with the superstructure to make a suitable connection. The embedment of the reinforcement into the cap shall be in conformance with Articles 8.24 and 8.25.

Load Testing

4.6.7.1

General

Where necessary. a full scale load test (or tests) should be conducted on a drilled shaft foundation(s) to confirm response to load. Load tests shaH be conducted using a test shaft(s) constructed in a manner and of dimensions and materials identical to those planned for the production shafts into the materials planned for support. Load testing should be conducted whenever special site conditions or combinations of load are encountered, or when structures of special design or sensitivity (e.g .• large bridges) are to be supported on drilled shaft foundations.

4.6.7.2

Load Testing Procedures

'

Load tests shall be conducted following prescribed written procedures which have been developed from accepted standards (e.g .• ASTM, 1989; Crowther, 1988) and modified, as appropriate, for the conditions at the site. Standard pile load testing procedures developed by ASTM which may be modified for testing drilled shafts include:

• Apparatus for measuring movements. • Apparatus for measuring loads. • Procedures for loading including rates of load application, load cycling and maximum load. • Procedures for measuring movements. • Safety requirements. • Data presentation requirements and methods of data analysis. • Drawings showing the procedures and materials to be used to construct the load test apparatus. As a minimum, the results of the load test(s) shall provide the load-deformation response at the butt of the shaft. When appropriate, information concerning ultimate load capacity, load transfer, lateral load-displacement with depth, the effects of shaft group interaction, the degree of fixity provided by caps and footings, and other data pertinent to the anticipated loading conditions on the production shafts shall be obtained. 4.6.7.3

• Apparatus for applying loads including reaction system and loading system.

Load Test Method Selection

Selection of an appropriate load test method shall be based on an evaluation of the anticipated types and duration of loads during service, and shall include consideration of the following: • The immediate goals of the load test (i.e., to proof load the foundation and verify design capacity). • The loads expected to act on the production foundation (compressive and/or uplift, dead and/orlive), and the soil conditions predominant in the region of concern. • The local practice or traditional method used in similar soiVrock deposits. • Time and budget constraints.

• ASTM D 1143. Standard Method of Testing Piles Under Static Axial Compressive Load; • ASTM D 3689, Standard Method of Testing Individual Piles Under Static Axial Tensile Load; and • ASTM D 3966, Standard Method for Testing Piles Under Lateral Loads.

92 DEFINITIONS

Batter Pile-A pile driven at an angle inclined to the vertical to provide higher resistance to lateral loads. Combination End-Bearing and Friction Pile-Pile that derives its capacity from the contributions of both end bearing developed at the pile tip and resistance mobilized along the embedded shaft. Deep Foundation-A foundation which derives its support by transferring loads to soil or rock at some depth below the structure by end bearing, by adhesion or friction or both. Design Load-All applicable loads and forces or their related internal moments and forces used to proportion a foundation. In load factor design, design load refers to nominal loads multiplied by appropriate load factors. Design Strength-The maximum load-carrying capacity of the foundation, as defined by a particular limit state. In load factor design, design strength is computed as the product of the nominal resistance and the appropriate performance factor. Drilled Shaft-A deep foundation unit, wholly or partly embedded in the ground, constructed by placing fresh concrete in a drilled hole with or without steel reinforcement. Drilled shafts derive their capacities from the surrounding soil and/or from the soil or rock strata below their tips. Drilled shafts are also commonly referred to as caissons, drilled caissons, bored piles or drilled piers. End-Bearing Pile-A pile whose support capacity is derived principally from the resistance of the foundation material on which the pile tip rests. Factored Load-Load, multiplied by appropriate load factors, used to proportion a foundation in load factor design. Friction Pile-A pile whose support capacity is derived principally from soil resistance mobilized along the side of the embedded pile. Limit State-A limiting condition in which the foundation and/or the structure it supports are deemed to be unsafe (i.e., strength limit state), or to be no longer fully useful for their intended function (i.e., serviceability limit state). Load Effect-The force in a foundation system (e.g., axial force, sliding force, bending moment, etc.) due to the applied loads. Load Factor-A factor used to modify a nominal load effect, which accounts for the uncertainties associated with the determination and variability of the load effect. Load Factor Design-A design method in which safety provisions are incorporated by separately accounting for uncertainties relative to load and resistance. Nominal Load-A typical value or a code-specified value for a load.

Nominal Resistance-The analytically estimated loadcarrying capacity of a foundation calculated using nominal dimensions and material properties, and established soil mechanics principles. Performance Factor-A factor used to modify a nominal resistance, which accounts for the uncertainties associated with the determination of the nominal resistance and the variability of the actual capacity. Pile-A relatively slender deep foundation unit, wholly or partly embedded in the ground, installed by driving, drilling, augering, jetting, or otherwise, and which derives its capacity from the surrounding soil and/or from the soil or rock strata below its tip. Piping-Progressive erosion of soil by seeping water, producing an open pipe through the soil, through which water flows in an uncontrolled and dangerous manner. Shallow Foundation-A foundation which derives its support by transferring load directly to the soil or rock at shallow depth. If a single slab covers the supporting stratum beneath the entire area of the superstructure, the foundation is known as a combined footing. If various parts of the structure are supported individually, the individual supports are known as spread footings, and the foundation is called a footing foundation. 4.10

4.10.1

LIMIT STATES, LOAD FACTORS, AND RESISTANCE FACTORS

General

All relevant limit states shall be considered in the design to ensure an adequate degree of safety and serviceability. 4.10.2 Serviceability Limit States Service limit states for foundation design shall include: -settlements, and -lateral displacements. The limit state for settlement shall be based upon rideability and economy. The cost of limiting foundation movements shall be compared to the cost of designing the superstructure so that it can tolerate larger movements, or of correcting the consequences of movement~ through maintenance, to determine minimum lifetime cost. More stringent criteria may be established by the owner. 4.10.3

Strength Limit States

Strength Jimit states for foundation design shall include:

4.10.3

DIVISION I-DESIGN

-bearing resistance failure, -excessive loss of contact, -sliding at the base of footing, -loss of overall stability, and -structural capacity. Foundations shall be proportioned such that the factored resistance is not less than the effects of factored loads specified in Section 3.

4.10.4 Strength Requirement Foundations shall be proportioned by the methods specified in Articles 4.11 through 4.13 so that their design strengths are at least equal to the required strengths. The required strength is the combined effect of the factored loads for each applicable load combination stipulated in Article 3.22. The design strength is calculated for each applicable limit state as the nominal resistance, Rm multiplied by an appropriate performance (or resistance) factor, . Methods for calculating nominal resistance are provided in Articles 4.11 through 4.13, and values of performance factors are given in Article 4.1 0.6.

4.10.5 Load Combinations and Load Factors .

Foundations shall be proportioned to withstand safely all load combinations stipulated in Article 3.22 which are applicable to the particular site or foundation type. With the exception of the portions of concrete or steel piles that are above the ground line and are rigidly connected to the superstructure as in rigid frame or continuous structures, impact forces shall not be considered in foundation design. (See Article 3.8.1.) Values of -y and ~ coefficients for load factor design, as given in Table 3.22.1A, shall apply to strength limit state considerations; while those for service load design (also given in Table 3.22.1A) shall apply to serviceability considerations.

4.11 SPREAD FOOTINGS 4.11.1 General Considerations 4.11.1.1 General Provisions of this article shall apply to design of isolated footings, and where applicable, to combined footings. Special attention shall be given to footings on fill. Footings shall be designed to keep the soil pressure as nearly uniform as practicable. The distribution of soil pressure shall be consistent with properties of the soil and the structure, and with established principles of soil mechanics.

4.11.1.2 Depth The depth of footings shall be determined with respect to the character of the foundation materials and the possibility of undermining. Footings at stream crossings shall be founded at depth below the maximum anticipated depth of scour as specified in Article 4.11.1.3. Footings not exposed to the action of stream current shall be founded on a firm foundation and below frost level. Consideration shall be given to the use of either a geotextile or graded granular filter layer to reduce susceptibility to piping in rip rap or abutment backfill .

4.11.1.3 Scour Protection Footings supported on soil or degradable rock strata shall be embedded below the maximum computed scour depth or protected with a scour counter-measure. Footings supported on massive, competent rock formations which are highly resistant to scour shall be placed directly on the cleaned rock surface. Where required, additional lateral resistance shall be provided by drilling and grouting steel dowels i1_1to the rock surface rather than blasting to embed the footing below the rock surface.

4.11.1.4 Frost Action 4.10.6 Performance Factors Values of performance factors for different types of foundation systems at strength limit states shall be as specified in Tables 4.1 0.6-1, 4.1 0.6-2, and 4.1 0.6-3, unless regionally specific values are available. If methods other than those given in Tables 4.1 0.6-1, 4.10.6-2, and 4.10.6-3 are used to estimate the soil capacity, the performance factors chosen shall provide the same reliability as those given in these tables.

In regions where freezing of the ground occurs during the winter months, footings shall be founded below the maximum depth of frost penetration in order to prevent damage from frost heave.

4.11.1.5 Anchorage Footings which are founded on inclined smooth solid rock surfaces and which are not restrained by an overburden of resistant material shall be effectively anchored by

General

Movement of foundations in both vertical settlement and lateral displacement directions shall be investigated at service limit states. Lateral displacement of a structure shall be evaluated when: -horizontal or inclined loads are present, -the foundation is placed on an embankment slope, -possibility of loss of foundation support through erosion or scour exists, or -bearing strata are significantly inclined.

4.11.3.2 Loads Immediate settlement shall be determined using the service load combinations given in Table 3.22.1 A. Timedependent settlement shall be determined using only the permanent loads. Settlement and horizontal movements caused by embankment loadings behind bridge abutments should be investigated. In seismically active areas, consideration shall be given to the potential settlement of footings on sand resulting from ground motions induced by earthquake loadings. For guidance in design, refer to Division 1-A of these Specifications.

4.11.3.3 Movement Criteria

0

.

Vertical and horizontal movement criteria for footings shall be developed consistent with the function and type of structure, anticipated service life, and consequences of unacceptable movements on structure performance. The tolerable movement criteria shall be established by empirical procedures or structural analyses. The maximum angular distortion (8/s) between adjacent foundations shall be limited to 0.008 for simple span bridges and 0.004 for continuous span bridges. These 8/s limits shall not be applicable to rigid frame structures. Rigid frames shall be designed for anticipated differential settlements based on the results of special analyses .

97

4.11.3.4 Settlement Analyses Foundation settlements shall be estimated using deformation analyses based on the results of laboratory or in situ testing. The soil parameters used in the analyses shall be chosen to reflect the loading history of the ground, the construction sequence and the effect of soil layering. Both total and differential settlements, including time effects, shall be considered.

4.1 1.3.4.1

Settlement of Footings on Cohesionless Soils

Estimates of settlement of cohesionless soils shall make allowance for the fact that settlements in these soils can be highly erratic. No method should be considered capable of predicting settlements of footings on sand with precision. Settlement'i of footings on cohesionless soils may be estimated using empirical procedures or elastic theory.

4.1 1.3.4.2

Settlement of Footings on Cohesive Soils

For foundations on cohesive soils, both immediate and consolidation settlements shall be investigated. If the footing width is small relative to the thickness of a compressible soil, the effect of three-dimensional loading shall be considered. In highly plastic and organic clay, secondary settlements are significant and shall be included in the analysis.

4.11.3.4.3

Settlements of Footings on Rock

The magnitude of consolidation and secondary settlements in rock masses containing soft seams shall be estimated by applying procedures discussed in Article 4.11.3.4.2.

4.11.4 Safety Against Soll Fallure 4.11.4.1

Bearing Capacity of Foundation Solls

Several methods may be used to calculate ultimate bearing capacity of foundation soils. The calculated value of ultimate bearing capacity shall be multiplied by an appropriate performance factor, as given in Article 4.1 0.6, to determine the factored bearing capacity. Footings are considered to be adequate against soil failure if the factored bearing capacity exceeds the effect of design loads.

98

HIGHWAY BRIDGES

4.11.4.1.1

Theoretical Estimation

The bearing capacity should be estimated using accepted soil mechanics theories based on measured soil parameters. The soil parameter used in the analysis shall be representative of the soil shear strength under the considered loading and subsurface conditions.

4.11.4.1.2

Semi-empirical Procedures

The bearing capacity of foundation soils may be estimated from the results of in situ tests or by observing foundations on similar soils. The use of a particular in situ test and the interpretation of the results shall take local experience into consideration. The following in situ tests may be used: -Standard penetration test (SPT), -Cone penetration test (CPT), and -Pressuremeter test.

4. I 1.4.1.3

Plate Loading Test

Bearing capacity may be determined by load tests providing that adequate subsurface explorations have been made to determine the soil profile below the foundation. The bearing capacity determined from a load test may be extrapolated to adjacent footings where the subsurface profile is similar. Plate load test shall be performed in accordance with the procedures specified in ASTM Standard D 1194-87 or AASHTO Standard T 235.

4.11.4.1.4

Presumptive Values

Presumptive values for allowable bearing pressures on soil and rock, given in Table 4.11.4.1.4-1, shall be used only for guidance, preliminary design or design of temporary structures. The use of presumptive values shall be based on the results of subsurface exploration to identify soil and rock conditions. All values used for design shall be confirmed by field and/or laboratory testing. The values given in Table 4.11.4.1.4-l are applicable directly for working stress procedures. When these values are used for preliminary design, all load factors shall be taken as unity.

sure that: (l) the product of the bearing capacity and an appropriate performance factor exceeds the effect of vertical design loads, and (2) eccentricity of loading, evaluated based on factored loads, is less than ~ of the footing dimension in any direction for footings on soils. For structural design of an eccentrically loaded foundation, a triangular or trapezoidal contact pressure distribution based on factored loads shall be used.

4.11.4.1.6

Effect of Load Eccentricity

For loads eccentric to the centroid of the footing, a reduced effective footing area (B' XL') shall be used in design. The reduced effective area is always concentrically loaded, so that the design bearing pressure on the reduced effective area is always uniform. Footings under eccentric loads shall be designed to en-

Effect of Groundwater Table

Ultimate bearing capacity shall be determined based on the highest anticipated position of groundwater level at the footing location. In cases where the groundwater table is at a depth less than 1.5 times the footing width below the bottom of the footing, reduction of bearing capacity, as a result of submergence effects, shall be considered.

4.11.4.2 Bearing Capacity of Foundations on Rock The bearing capacity of footings on rock shall consider the presence, orientation and condition of discontinuities, weathering profiles and other similar profiles as they apply at a particular site, and the degree to which they shall be incorporated in the design. For footings on competent rock, reliance on simple and direct analyses based on uniaxial compressive rock strengths and RQD may be applicable. Competent rock shall be defined as a rock mass with discontinuities that are tight or open not wider than ~ inch. For footings on less competent rock, more detailed investigations and analyses shall be performed to account for the effects of weathering, and the presence and condition of discontinuities. Footings on rocks are considered to be adequate against bearing capacity failure if the product of the ultimate bearing capacity determined using procedures described in Articles 4.11.4.2.1 through 4.11.4.2.3 and an appropriate performance factor exceeds the effect of design loads.

Semi-empirical Procedures

Bearing capacity of foundations on rock may be determined using empirical correlation with RQD, or other systems for evaluating rock mass quality, such as the Geomechanic Rock Mass Rating (RMR) syste~ or Norwegian Geotechnical Institute (NGI) Rock Mass Classification System. The use of these semi-empirical procedures shall. take local experience into consideration.

100 4.11.4.2.2 Analytic Method

The ultimate bearing capacity of foundations on rock shall be determined using established rock mechanics principles based on the rock mass strength parameters. The influence of discontinuities on the failure mode shall also be considered. 4.11.4.2.3 Load Test

Where appropriate, load tests may be performed to determine the bearing capacity of foundations on rock. 4.11.4.2.4

Presumptive Bearing Values

For simple structures on good quality rock masses, values of presumptive bearing pressure given in Table 4.11.4.2.4-1 may be used for preliminary design. The use of presumptive values shall be based on the results of subsurface exploration to identify rock conditions. All values used in design shaH be confirmed by field and/or laboratory testing. The values given in Table 4.11.4.2.4-1 are directly applicable to working stress procedure, i.e., all the load factors shall be taken as unity. 4.11.4.2.5 Effect of Load Eccentricity

If the eccentricity of loading on a footing is less than Y6 of the footing width, a trapezoidal bearing pressure shall be used in evaluating the bearing capacity. If the eccentricity is between Y6 and Y.a of the footing width, a triangular bearing pressure shall be used. The maximum bearing pressure shall not exceed the product of the ultimate bearing capacity multiplied by a suitable performance factor. The eccentricity of loading evaluated using factored loads shall not exceed Ys (37.5%) of the footing dimensions in any direction.

4.11.4.3 Failure by Sliding

Failure by sliding shall be investigated for footings that support inclined loads and/or are founded on slopes. For foundations on clay soils, possible presence of a shrinkage gap between the soil and the foundation shall be considered. If passive resistance is included as part of the shear resistance required for resisting sliding, consideration shall also be given to possible future removal of the soil in front of the foundation. 4.11.4.4 Loss of Overall Stability

The overall stability of footings, slopes and foundation soil or roc~ shall be evaluated for footings located on or near a slope using applicable factored load combinations in Article 3.22 and a performance factor of0.75.

4.11.5 Structural Capacity

The structural design of footings shall comply to the provisions given in Articles 4.4.11 and 8.16. 4.11.6 Construction Considerations for Shallow Foundations 4.11.6.1

General

The ground conditions should be monitored closely during construction to determine whether or not the ground conditions are as foreseen and to enable prompt intervention, if necessary. The control investigation should be performed and interpreted by experienced and qualified engineers. Records of the control investigations should be kept as part of the final project data, among other things, to permit a later assessment of the foundation in connection with rehabilitation, change of neighboring structures, etc. 4.11.6.2 Excavation Monitoring

Prior to concreting footings or placing backfill, an excavation shall be free of debris and excessive water. Monitoring by an experienced and trained person should always include a thorough examination of the sides and bottom of the excavation, with the possible addition of pits or borings to evaluate the geological conditions. The assumptions made during the design of the foundations regarding strength, density, and groundwater conditions should be verified during construction, by visual inspection. 4.11.6.3 Compaction Monitoring

Compaction shall be carried out in a manner so that the fill material within the section under inspection is as close as practicable to uniform. The layering and compaction of the fill material should be systematic everywhere, with the same thickness of layer and number of passes with the compaction equipment used as for the inspected fill. The control measurements should be undertaken in the form of random samples. 4.12 DRIVEN PILES 4.12.1

Where combined horizontal and vertical displacements are possible, horizontal movement shall be limited to 1.0 inch or less. Where vertical displacements are small, horizontal displacements shall be limited to 2.0 inches or less (Moulton. et al., 1985). If estimated or actual movements exceed these levels, special analysis and/or measures shall be considered.

cept they rely more on structural resistance through cantilevering action, with this cantilevering action providing the means to mobilize dead weight for resistance. Nongravity cantilever walls rely strictly on the structural resistance of the wall and the passive resistance of the soiVrock, in which vertical wall elements are partially embedded in the soiVrock to provide fixity. Anchored walls derive their capacity through cantilevering action of the vertical wall elements (similar to a non-gravity cantilever wall) and tensile capacity of anchors embedded in stable soil or rock below or behind potential soiVrock failure surfaces.

Retaining walls shall be designed to withstand lateral earth and water pressures, including any live and dead load surcharge, the self weight of the wall, temperature and shrinkage effects, and earthquake loads in accordance with the general principles specified in this section. Retaining walls shall be designed for a service life based on consideration of the potential long-term effects of material deterioration, seepage, stray currents and other potentially deleterious environmental factors on each of the material components comprising the wall. For most applications, permanent retaining walls should be designed for a minimum service life of 75 years. Retaining walls for temporary applications are typically designed for a service life of 36 months or less. A greater level of safety and/or longer service life (i.e., 100 years) may be appropriate for walls which support bridge abutments, buildings, critical utilities, or other facilities for which the consequences of poor performance or failure would be severe. The quality of in-service performance is an important consideration in the design of permanent retaining walls. Permanent walls shall be designed to retain an aesthetically pleasing appearance, and be essentially maintenance free throughout their design service life.

GENERAL

5.2.1

Selection of Wall Type

Selection of wall type is based on an assessment of the magnitude and direction of loading, depth to suitable foundation support, potential for earthquake loading, presence of deleterious environmental factors, proximity of physical constraints, wall site cross-sectional geometry, tolerable and differential settlement, facing appearance, and ease and cost of construction.

5.2.1.1

Rigid Gravity and Semi-Gravity Walls

Rigid gravity walls use the dead weight of the structure itself and may be constructed of stone masonry, unreinforced concrete, or reinforced concrete. Semi-gravity cantilever, counterfort, and buttress walls are constructed of reinforced concrete. Rigid gravity and semi-gravity retaining walls may be used for bridge substructures or grade separation. Rigid gravity and semi-gravity walls are generally used for permanent wall applications. These types of walls can be effective for both cut and fill wall applications due to their relatively narrow base widths which allows excavation laterally to be kept to a minimum. Gravity and semi-gravity walls may be used without deep foundation support only where the bearing soiVrock is not prone to excessive or differential settlement. Due to their rigidity, excessive differential settlement can cause

WALL TYPE AND BEHAVIOR

Retaining walls are generally classified as gravity, semigravity, non-gravity cantilever, and anchored. Examples of various types of walls are provided in Figures 5.2A. 5.2B, and 5.2C. Gravity walls derive their capacity to resist lateral loads through a combination of dead weight and lateral resistance. Gravity walls can be further subdivided by type into rigid gravity walls, mechanically stabilized earth (MSE) walls, and prefabricated modular gravity walls. Semi-gravity walls are similar to gravity walls, exIll

cracking, excessive bending or shear stresses in the wall, or rotation of the overall wall structure. 5.2.1.2 Nongravity Cantllevered Walls

Nongravity cantilevered walls derive lateral resistance through embedment of vertical wall elements and support retained soil with facing elements. Vertical wall elements may consist of discrete vertical elements (e.g., soldier or sheet piles, caissons, or drilled shafts) spanned by a structural facing (e.g., wood or reinforced concrete lagging, precast or cast-in-place concrete panels, wire or fiber reinforced shotcrete, or metal elements such as sheet piles). The discrete vertical elements typically extend deeper into the ground than the facing to provide vertical and lateral support. Alternately, the vertical wall elements and facing are continuous and, therefore, also form the structural facing. Typical continuous vertical wall elements include piles, precast or cast-in-place concrete diaphragm wall panels, tangent piles, and tangent caissons.

Permanent nongravity cantilevered walls may be constructed of reinforced concrete, timber, and/or metals. Temporary nongravity cantilevered walls may be constructed of reinforced concrete, metal and/or timber. Suitable metals generally include steel for components such as piles, brackets and plates, lagging and concrete reinforcement. Nongravity cantilevered walls may be used for the same applications as rigid gravity and semi-gravity walls, as well as temporary or permanent support of earth slopes, excavations, or unstable soil and rock masses. This type of wall requires little excavation behind the wall and is most effective in cut applications. They are also effective where deep foundation embedment is required for stability. Nongravity cantilevered walls are generally limited to a maximum height of approximately 5 meters (15 feet), unless they are provided with additional support by means of anchors. They generally cannot be used effectively where deep soft soils are present, as these walls depend on the passive resistance of the soil in front of the wall.

5.2.1.3 Anchored Walls Anchored walls are typically composed of the same elements as nongravity cantilevered walls (Article 5.2. 1.2), but derive additional lateral resistance from one or more tiers of anchors. Anchors may be prestressed or deadman type elements composed of strand tendons or bars (with corrosion protection as necessary) extending from the wall face to a ground zone or mechanical anchorage located beyond the zone of soil applying load to the wall. Bearing elements on the vertical support elements or facing of the wall transfer wall loads to the anchors. In some cases, a spread footing is used at the base of the anchored wall facing in lieu of vertical element embedment to provide vertical support. Due to their fl exibility and method of support, the distribution of lateral pressure on anchored walls is influenced by the method and sequence of wall construction and anchor prestressing. Anchored walls are applicable for temporary and permanent support of stable and unstable soi I and rock masses.

Anchors are usually required for supp01t of both temporary and permanent nongravity cantilevered walls higher than about 5 meters ( 15 feet), depending on soil conditions. Anchored walls are typically constructed in cut situations, in which construction occurs from the top down to the base of the wall. Anchored walls have been successfully used to support fi lls; however, certain difficulties arising in fill wall applications require special consideration during design and construction. In particular, there is a potential for anchor damage due to settlement of backfill and underlying soil s or due to improperly controlled backfilling procedures. Also, there is a potential for undesirable wall deflection if anchors are too highly stressed when the backfi ll is only partially complete and provides li mited passive resistance. The base of the vertical wall elements should be located below any soft soils which are prone to settlement, as settlement of the vertical wall elements can cause destressing of the anchors. Also, anchors should not be located within soft clays and silts, as it is difficult to obtain

5.2.1.4 Mechanically Stabilized Earth Walls MSE systems, whose elements may be proprietary, employ either metallic (strip or grid type) or geosynthetic (geotextile, strip, or geogrid) tensile reinforcements in the soil mass, and a facing element which is vertical or near vertical. MSE walls behave as a gravity wall, deriving their lateral resistance through the dead weight of the re-

inforced soil mass behind the facing. For relatively thick facings, such as segmental concrete block facings, the dead weight of the facing may also provide a significant contribution to the capacity of the wall system. MSE walls are typically used where conventional gravity, cantilever, or counterforted concrete retaining walls are considered, and are particularly well suited where substantial total and differential settlements are anticipated. The allowable settlement of MSE walls is limited by the longitudinal defonnability of the facing and the performance requirements of the structure. MSE walls

Retaining walls shall be designed to provide adequate structural capacity with acceptable movements, adequate foundation bearing capacity with acceptable settlements, and acceptable overall stability of slopes adjacent to walls. The tolerable level of wall lateral and vertical deformations is controlled by the type and location of the wall structure and surrounding facilities.

5.2.2.1

Bearing Capacity

The bearing capacity of wall foundation support systems shall be estimated using procedures described in Articles 4.4, 4.5, or 4.6, or other generally accepted theories. Such theories are based on soil and rock parameters measured by in situ and/or laboratory tests.

• When two intersecting walls form an enclosed angle of 70° or less, the affected portion of the wall is designed as an internally tied bin structure with at-rest earth pressure coefficients. • Where metallic reinforcements are used in areas of anticipated stray currents within 60 meters (200 feet) of the structure, a corrosion expert should evaluate the potential need for corrosion control requirements.

5.2.1.5 Prefabricated Modular Walls

Prefabricated modular wall systems, whose elements may be proprietary, generally employ interlocking soilfilled reinforced concrete or steel modules or bins, rock filled gabion baskets, precast concrete units, or dry cast segmental masonry concrete units (without soil reinforcement) which resist earth pressures by acting as gravity retaining walls. Prefabricated modular walls may also use their structural elements to mobilize the dead weight of a portion of the wall backfill through soil arching to provide resistance to lateral loads. Prefabricated modular systems may be used where conventional gravity, cantilever or counterfort concrete retaining walls are considered. Steel modular systems shall not be used where the steel will be exposed to surface or subsurface water which is contaminated by acid mine drainage, other industrial pol-

The settlement of wall foundation support systems shall be estimated using procedures described in Articles 4.4, 4.5, or 4.6, or other generally accepted methods. Such methods are based on soil and rock parruneters measured directly or inferred from the results of in situ and/or laboratory test.

5.2.2.3 Overall Stability The overall stability of slopes in the vicinity of walls shall be considered as part of the design of retaining walls. The overall stability of the retaining wall, retained slope, and foundation soil or rock shall be evaluated for all walls using limiting equilibrium methods of analysis such as the Modified Bishop, simplified Janbu or Spencer methods of analysis. A minimum factor of safety of 1.3 shall be used for walls designed for static loads, except the factor of safety shall be 1.5 for walls that support abutments, buildings, critical utilities, or for other installations with a low tolerance for failure. A minimum factor of safety of 1.1 shall be used when designing walls for seismic loads. In all cases, the subsurface conditions and soil/rock properties of the wall site shall be adequately characterized through in-situ exploration and testing and/or laboratory testing as described in Article 5.3. Seismic forces applied to the mass of the slope shall be based on a horizontal seismic coefficient kh equal to onehalf the ground acceleration coefficient A, with the vertical seismic coefficient kv equal to zero.

116

HIGHWAY BRIDGES

It must be noted that, even if overall stability is satisfactory, special exploration, testing and analyses may be required for bridge abutments or retaining walls constructed over soft subsoils where consolidation and/or lateral flow of the soft soil could result in unacceptable longterm settlements or horizontal movements. Stability of temporary construction slopes needed to construct the wall shall also be evaluated. 5.2.2.4 Tolerable Deformations

Tolerable vertical and lateral deformation criteria for retaining walls shall be developed based on the function and type of wall, unanticipated service life, and consequences of unacceptable movements (i.e., both structural and aesthetic). Allowable total and differential vertical deformations for a particular retaining wall are dependent on the ability of the wall to deflect without causing damage to the wall elements or exhibiting unsightly deformations. The total and differential vertical deformation of a retaining wall should be small for rigid gravity and semi-gravity retaining walls, and for soldier pile walls with a cast-in-place facing. For walls with anchors, any downward movement can cause significant destressing of the anchors. MSE walls can tolerate larger total and differential vertical deflections than rigid walls. The amount of total and differential vertical deflection that can be tolerated depends on the wall facing material, configuration, and timing of facing construction. A cast-in-place facing has the same vertical deformation limitations as the more rigid retaining wall systems. However, an MSE wall with a castin-place facing can be specified with a waiting period before the cast-in-place facing is constructed so that vertical (as well as horizontal) deformations have time to occur. An MSE wall with welded wire or geosynthetic facing can tolerate the most deformation. An MSE wall with multiple precast concrete panels cannot tolerate as much vertical deformation as flexible welded wire or geosynthetic facings because of potential damage to the precast panels and unsightly panel separation. Horizontal movements resulting from outward rotation of the wall or resulting from the development of internal equilibrium between the loads applied to the wall and the internal structure of the wall must be limited to prevent overstress of the structural wall facing and to prevent the wall face batter from becoming negative. In general, if vertical deformations are properly controlled, horizontal deformations will likely be within acceptable limits. For MSE walls with extensible reinforcements, reinforcement serviceability criteria, the wall face batter, and the facing type selected (i.e., the flexibility of the facing) will influence the horizontal deformation criteria required. · Vertical wall movements shall be estimated using conventional settlement computational methods (see Articles

5.2.2.3

4.4, 4.5, and 4.6. For gravity and semi-gravity walls, lateral movement results from a combination of differential vertical settlement between the heel and the toe of the wall and the rotation necessary to develop active earth pressure conditions (see Table 5.5.2A). If the wall is designed for at-rest earth pressure conditions, the deflections in Table 5.5.2A do not need to be considered. For anchored walls, deflections shall be estimated in accordance with Article 5.7.2. For MSE walls, deflections may be estimated in accordance with Article 5.8.10. Where a wall is used to support a structure, tolerable movement criteria shall be established in accordance with Articles 4.4.7.2.5, 4.5 and 4.6. Where a wall supports soil on which an adjacent structure is founded, the effects of wall movements and associated backfill settlement on the adjacent structure shall be evaluated. For seismic design, seismic loads may be reduced, as result of lateral wall movement due to sliding, for what is calculated based on Division 1A using the MononobeOkabe method if both of the following conditions are met: • the wall system and any structures supported by the wall can tolerate lateral movement resulting from sliding of the structure, • the wall base is unrestrained regarding its ability to slide, other than soil friction along its base and minimal soil passive resistance. Procedures for accomplishing this reduction in seismic load are provided in the AASHTO LRFD Bridge Design Specifications, 2nd Edition. In general, this only applies to gravity and semi-gravity walls. Though the specifications in Division 1A regarding this issue are directed at structural gravity and semi-gravity walls, these specifications may also be applicable to other types of gravity walls regarding this issue provided the two conditions listed above are met. 5.2.3 SoU, Rock, and Other Problem Conditions

Geologic and environmental conditions can influence the performance of retaining walls and their foundations, and may require special· consideration during design. To the extent possible, the presence and influence of such conditions shall be evaluated as part of the subsurface exploration program.

Exploration logs shall include soil and rock strata descriptions, penetration resistance for soils (e.g., SPT or qc), and sample recovery and RQD for rock strata. The drilling equipment and method, use of drilling mud, type of SPT hammer (i.e., safety, donut, hydraulic) or cone penetrometer (i.e., mechanical or electrical), and any unusual subsurface conditions such as artesian pressures, boulders or other obstructions, or voids shall also be noted on the exploration logs.

local conditions. Where the wall is supported on deep foundations and for all non-gravity walls, the depth of the subsurface explorations shall extend a minimum of 6 meters (20 feet) below the anticipated pile, shaft, or slurry wall tip elevation. For piles or shafts end bearing on rock. or shafts extending into rock, a minimum of 3 meters (10 feet) of rock core, or a length of rock core equal to at least three times the shaft diameter, which ever is greater, shall be obtained to insure that the exploration has not been tenninated on a boulder and to determine the physical characteristics of the rock within the zone of foundation influence for design.

5.3.3 Minimum Coverage A minimum of one soil boring shall be made for each retaining wall. For retaining walls over 30 meters ( 100 feet) in length, the spacing between borings should be 30 meters ( l 00 feet). The number and spacing of the bore holes may be increased or decreased from 30 meters ( l 00 feet), depending upon the anticipated geological conditions within the project area. In planning the exploration program, consideration should be given to placing borings inboard and outboard of the wall line to define conditions in the scour zone at the toe of the wall and in the zone behind the wall to estimate lateral loads and anchorage or reinforcement capacities.

5.3.4 Laboratory Testing Laboratory testing shall be performed as necessary to determine engineering characteristics including unit weight, natural moisture content, Atterberg limits, gradation, shear strength, compressive strength and compressibility. In the absence of laboratory testing, engineering characteristics may be estimated based on field tests and/or published property correlations. Local experience should be applied when establishing project design values based on laboratory and field tests.

RIGID GRAVITY AND SEMI-GRAVITY WALL DESIGN

5.5.1 Design Terminology

5.5.2 Earth Pressure and Surcharge Loadings Earth pressute loading on rigid gravity and semi-gravity walls is a function of the type and condition of soil backfill, the slope of the ground surface behind the wall, the rrlction between the wall and soil, and the ability of the wall to translate or rotate about their base. Restrained walls are fixed or partially restrained against translation and/or rotation. For yielding walls, lateral earth pressures shall be computed assuming active stress conditions and wedge theory using a planar surface of sliding defined by Coulomb Theory. Development of an active state of stress in the soil behind a rigid wall requires an outward rotation of the wall about its toe. The magnitude of rotation required to develop active pressure is a function of the soil type and conditions behind the wall, as defined in Table 5.5.2A. Refer to Figure 5.5.2A for procedures to determine the magnitude and location of the earth pressure resultant for gravity and semigravity retaining walls subjected to active earth pressures. For restrained or yielding walls for which the tilting or deflection required to develop active earth pressure is not tolerable (i.e., yielding walls located adjacent to structures sensitive to settlement), lateral earth pressures shall be computed assuming at-rest conditions using the relationships

Refer to Figure 5.5.1A for terminology used in the design of rigid gravity and semi-gravity retaining walls.

When traffic loads are applied within a horizontal distance from the top of the wall equal to one-half the wall height, the· lateral earth pressure for design shall be increased by a minimum surcharge acting on the backslope equivalent to that applied by 0.6 meters· (2 feet) of soil as described in Article 3.20.3. The surcharge will result in the application of an additional uniform pressure on the back of the wall having a resultant magnitude

(5.5.2-3) acting at the mid-height of the wall where K is equal to K11 or Ko depending on wall restraint. If the surcharge is greater than that applied by 0.6 meters (2 feet) of soil, the design earth pressures shall be increased by the actual amount of the surcharge. Unless actual data regarding the magnitude of the anticipated surcharge loads is available, assume. a minimum soil unit weight of 19.6 kN/m3 (0.125 kcO in determining the surcharge load. The effects of permanent point or line surcharge loads (other than normal traffic live loads) on backslopes shall also be considered in developing the design earth pressures. See Figure 5.5.2B to estimate the effects of permanent point and line surcharge loads. The effect of compacting backfill in confined areas behind retaining walls may result in development of earth pressures greater than those represented by active or atrest conditions. Where use of heavy static or vibratory compaction equipment within a distance of about 0.5H behind the wall is anticipated, the effects of backfill com-
