To develop design parameters for axially loaded drilled shafts for the St. Croix River Bridge, a major river crossing at Oak Park Heights, Minnesota, load tests were conducted on half-scale sockets in the primary formation, the Franconia Sandstone, at a site on the west bank of the river. The test results were analyzed by using a procedure that considered dilatancy at the shaft-sandstone interface using the known normal, lateral stiffness of the rock, and several candidate interface roughness patterns. The normal stiffness was measured by splitting a short socket vertically with an Osterberg load cell, within the Franconia formation. The interface roughness patterns were varied until the load-deformation behavior of the axial socket test was matched. The production shafts will have larger diameters and will penetrate the formation to a shallower depth than the axial test socket. The lateral stiffness therefore was scaled to account for these effects, and the analytical method was used to determine values of side resistance that should be used for designing the production shafts.
