The publisher and author wish to clarify the following citations in the Appendix of the discussion:
The following correlations are used to determine fsu and G in Tables 2–4:
As shown in Reese and Touma (1972) and Gupta (2013), undrained shear strength (su) is expressed by
su=N60/15inksf
(7)
As shown in AASHTO (2012), adhesion factor (α), load transfer coefficient (β), and ultimate side friction (fsu) are expressed by
α=0.55forsu/pa1.5
(8)
β=1.50.245(zinmeters)0.5forsand,N6015andfsu=βσo
(9)
where σo = effective overburden stress.
As shown in Kulhawy and Mayne (1990), the modulus of elasticity is given by
E=5paN60
(10)
ShearmodulusG=E/[2(1+ν)]
(11)
where ν = Poisson’s ratio, and ν=0.3 for sand and ν=0.2 for rock.
As shown in Gupta (2012, 2103), Em/Ei is expressed by
Em/Ei=0.0033RQD0.0167for20%<RQD<50%
(12)
Em/Ei=0.00035RQD2+0.0695RQD2.45forRQD50%
(13)
where Ei = modulus of intact rock cores; and Em = rock mass modulus; RQD = rock quality designation.
As shown in AASHTO (2012), the reduction factor (αE) is given by
αE=0.9762(Em/Ei)0.2579
As shown by Hoit et al. (2001), the uniaxial strength of intact rock cores is given by
Ei=115qu
(15)
As shown in AASHTO (2012), ultimate side friction (fsu) is given by
fsu=0.65αEpa(qu/pa)0.5onthebasisofquandαE
(16)
fsu=0.78pa(fc/pa)0.5onthebasisoffc
(17)
For design, lower of the two values calculated from Eqs. (16) and (17) shall be used.
As shown in AASHTO (1996), maximum shear stress (vc) of concrete/grout is given by
vc=3(fc)0.5wherefcisinpsi
(18)
In addition, the author would like to add this reference to the article
Reese, L. C., and Touma F. T. (1972). Load tests of instrumented drilled shafts constructed by slurry displacement methods, Center of Highway Research, Univ. of Texas at Austin, Austin, TX.
The publisher regrets any confusion.
