Evaluation and Incorporation of Site and Laboratory Variability into LRFD Design of Pile Foundations – Phase 2

The main objectives of this research are to evaluate the different sources of geotechnical site variability and to quantify the effect of spatial site variability; number of lab/in-situ tests; type and quality of test methods; number and type of load tests, and location/distribution of test methods for inclusion in the analysis and design of deep foundations.
