... Lateral load tests were performed on four 4-ft-diameter drilled piers extending through water bearing granular overburden and terminating in shale bedrock. Depth of overburden varied from 10 to 43 ft. The tests involved piers with both bell and socket bases. Electric resistance strain gages were...
