What is Supporting Shallow Foundation Systems When Subjected To Lateral Loads about?

This technical bulletin discusses how geopier-supported shallow foundations resist lateral loads through the same mechanisms as conventional foundations: passive earth pressure and sliding resistance along the base. Geopier elements increase resistance by concentrating stress and having a high friction angle aggregate. Full-scale tests show friction angles of 49-52 degrees for the aggregate. Computations indicate sliding resistance provides more resistance than passive pressure.
