DFI Journal: Preprint Papers Available
We are excited to highlight Journal
papers that can be viewed as preprints
online at
www.dfi-journal.org . These
papers will be part of the DFI Journal's
regular issue as well as a Special Issue
on Ground Improvement.
Volume 16, Issue 2
" Life Cycle Assessment of Drilled
Shafts, " by Mina Lee and Dipanjan
Basu. This paper explores the application
of life cycle assessment (LCA), a
widely used methodology for quantifying
environmental impacts associated
with the life cycle stages of a
system, to drilled shaft foundations.
The author team, from Canada,
considered 22 drilled shafts and starts
by assessing the flows of energy, raw
materials and emissions associated
with the life cycle stages of drilled shaft
construction that range from the
extraction of raw materials to its endof-life
(demolition and recycling).
" Axial Load Capacity Predictions of
Drilled Displacement Piles With SPTand
CPT-based Direct Methods, " by
Genesis Figueroa Palacios, Antonio
Marinucci and Anne Lemnitzer. This
paper is the outcome of a DFIsupported
Technical Committee Project
by the Auger Cas t and Dr i l l ed
Displacement Pile Com-mittee on the
ability to predict axial load capacities of
drilled displacement piles (DDPs) with
SPT and CPT-based direct methods.
With the help of the national and
international DFI mem-bership, the
authors have developed the largest pile
database published to date (129 piles
from 55 different construction projects).
" A Comprehensive Comparison and
Analysis of In-Situ Dynamic and Static
Tests of a Cased Drilled Shaft, " by Ingrid
Tomac, Kevin Zhu and Yaliang Wang.
The authors jointly analyze the undrained
bearing capacity of temporary
cased drilled shaft foundations installed
as part of a new tower in Zagreb, Croatia.
This paper will help guide future
designs for cased drilled shafts in clays,
and serves as an exemplary case study
for an excellent foundation performance
during the 2020 Zagreb Mw 5.3
and 2020 Petrinja Mw 6.4 earthquakes.
The authors furthermore offer a
valuable comparison of critical soil
parameters needed for design versus
recommended values offered by design
guidelines such as the EC7 code.

Special Issue on Ground
Improvement
The special issue is led by guest editors
Chris Woods, G.E., D. GE, Densification,
and Jerry Bishop, P.E., Kiewit Engineering
and Design. The following
papers to be published within the
two-part special issues are featured
ahead of print for our readers and
present an interesting range of ground
improve-ment applications.
