Book excerpt: The report presents a summary of findings from an assessment of the technical literature, experience of engineers, and unpublished reports on lateral loads on pile groups. Specific interest is adopted in the design methods for drilled shafts, in particular of drilled shafts installed under similar conditions to those common in Arizona. These conditions were determined through a file search of as-built drawings for Arizona Department of Transportation abutments supported on drilled shafts. Nine design methods were identified and are summarized in this report. Based on a survey of practice, the most important of these appear to be the group reduction factor, the modulus of subgrade reaction reduction, and the p-multiplier. Each of these methods was compared to the other.
