Validation of CSL ResultsCSL testing should not be sole basis for shaft rejection – false results can occur

Inspector reports & drill logs

Compressive strength tests

Additional test methods:

Angled CSL testCross-hole tomographyCoring

Lessons LearnedThe more subsurface information, the better

Specify a test shaft or installation sequence

Design with construction in mind

Careful contractor attention required for tremies

Engineer, inspector, contractor and owner must all understand shaft construction practices

Let the contractor select methods and equipment

Types of Shaft DefectsBulge or neck in shaft

Non-homogeneous section: Sand lensSidewall cave-inVoids (esp. outside rebar cage)Excessive waterForeign materials

“Soft Toe”

Over consolidation

Off-location / out-of-plumb

Quality Control Measures

Tight specification with proper tolerances

Thorough review of contractor submittals

Trial or technique shafts (not part of final structure)

Test shaft (production shaft)

Knowledgeable personnel

Proper concrete placement practices

Integrity testing
