Drilled shafts in rock are widely used as foundations of heavy
structures such as highway bridges and tall buildings. Although much has
been learned about the analysis and design of drilled shafts in rock,
all the major findings are published in the form of reports and articles
in technical journals and conference proceedings. This book is the
first to present and summarize the latest information in one volume,
highlighting for the reader the principle differences between
foundations in soil, and foundations in rock masses containing
discontinuities. This book presents methods for characterizing
discontinuities in jointed rock masses, and considering their effects on
the behavior of drilled shafts. A valuable tool for practitioners in
geological engineering, rock mechanics and foundation engineering.

This 1999 document was written as a resource for participants in a short
course covering the topic of construction and design of drilled shaft
foundations for bridges and other structures. It is the Second Edition
of the FHWA workbook on construction and design of drilled shafts.
