3. Goals and specific aims
Provide a basis for a load transfer criterion and evaluate experimentally the
characteristics of the ultimate unit side resistance of drilled shafts in weak
porous rock of Puerto Rico
• Design an experimental study of load test of drilled shafts based on high
precision instrumentation
• Analyze data from the field tests and compare the prediction based on
empirical relationships
• Classify and establish a geotechnical and geological characterization of the
limestone rock from La Montaña farm in Aguadilla, PR

• Between 10% - 20% (Williams et al., 1980; Carter & Kulhawy, 1988)
• A significant relative movement between concrete and rock is necessary to achieve
the total end bearing resistance (Qb)
• Some methods proposed for predict (Qb) are based on elastic solutions and depend
on the embedment ratio (L/B) and the rate of stiffness (Ec/Er)

Mecanismos de transferencia de carga axial a compresion de fustes barrenados en roca caliza y porosa
a) Carga total aplicada menor a la resistencia unitaria al corte, b) Carga aplicada aumenta pero aun menora a la resitencia ultima unitaria al corte, c) carga aplicada mayor, se alcanza la resistencia unitaria al corte ultima y se genera la reaccion de la punta del pilote. d) carga ultima del pilote es la suma de la resistencia ultima al corte y la resistencia ultima de la punta o base del pilote.
En la medida en que se va aumentando la carga a compresion, la curva carga desplazamiento mostrara un comportamiento lineal al momento de alcanzar la resistencia unitaria al corte ultima, la curva ya no mostrara un comportamiento lineal y entrara en una zona de transision. Provocando un mayor desplazamiento con incrementos de carga menores hasta que ocurre un deslizamiento pleno donde la resistencia unitaria al corte ultima se ha sobre pasado.
DS_LT1 carga mas lenta, menor carga para un desplazamiento igual que para una carga rapida DS_LT2 que requiere una carga mayor.
Desplazamientos mayores para cargas mas lentas – Desplazamientos menores para cargas mas rapidas.
