It includes probability-based design equations for the uplift, compres- sion, and lateral-moment loading modes of drilled shafts and for the uplift loading of spread foundations under varying limit state and drainage conditions. BACKGROUND _ Reliability-based concepts, which explicitly account for uncer- tainties, are becoming more prominent in all areas of structural design. This ‘approach is appropriate for the design of transmission structure foundations because present deterministic practice does not address the variability and uncer- tainty in foundation design models, site geology, soil testing methods, and charac- terization of soil properties from test results. Presently, foundations for transmission line structures are designed with a single global factor of safety. This factor of safety does not have a unique value, but can vary over a wide range depending on its defi- nition. This approach makes less efficient use of past experience because it is not defined within a consistent and common framework, and engineers can not commu- ricate and share their experiences with it effectively. Furthermore, the approach does not distinguish between model and parameter uncertainties, which makes it difficult to justify any reduction in the safety level if there is additional information or advance in the state-of-the-art. It is also unclear how the factor of safety can be extrapolated rationally and consistently to accommodate new design scenarios. OBJECTIVE _ To develop reliability-based design (RED) methodology for trans- mission line structure foundations. APPROACH _ The investigators adopted the probabilistic load model used by the ‘ASCE Task Committee on Structural Loadings for their study to maintain statistical compatibility between the RBD procedures for transmission structures and founda- tions. The basic goal of BD is to calibrate the resistance or deformation factors in some simplified design formats until a selected target reliability indexis achieved. In this instance the investigators selected the Load and Resistance Facior Design for- mat and a multiple resistance factor format for calibration. They computed the relia~ bility index using the First Order Reliability Method. They used the relabilty indices implicit in existing designs as a basis for the selection of the target index. For relia- bility analysis, they assumed the wind speed was Gumbel distributed with a coeff- cient of variation of 30 percent and load assumed to be proportional to the square of the wind speed. They systematically evaluated geotechnical variabilty from inherent soil variability, measurement error, and transformation model uncertainty using sec- ‘ond-moment probabilistic models. EPRI TR-105000s Electric Power Research Institute RESULTS _ The rout ofthis study indicat that a target olabty index is most appropriate for foundation ultimate limit state design. For the Serconblty iit slate, a lowor target relablty Index of 28 was chosen because of the less severe failure consequences. Both simplified design formats can be calibrated to achieve the target reliability index. However, the multiple resistance factor format is more meaningful physically and ‘generally more suitable for foundation design conditions. The resistance and deformation factors in both design formats were evaluated and tabu- lated for practical use. EPRI PERSPECTIVE _Reliabilty-based methods provide a promising foundation design alterative because they can account for the uncertain- ties in determining soil properties at investigation sites and in translating these properties to each foundation location. They will also assist design- ‘rs in evaluating existing foundations for upgrading studies. Basic EPRI research on drilled shaft foundations has been published in EPRI reports EL-2870 and EL-6800.

ABSTRACT ‘The application of reliability methods to foundation design constitutes 2 signifi- cant improvement over the traditional deterministic approach. However, the number of reliability-based design (RSD) procedures that are suitable for practical use is limited. This study was undertaken to develop practical RBD equations for drilled shafts subjected to uplift, compression, and lateral-moment loading and spread foundations subjected to uplift, with emphasis on application to transmissicn line structure foundation design. All of the above categories were subdivided further according to the limit state (ultimate or serviceability) and drainage conditions (drained or undzained). ‘The basic goal of RBD is to calibrate the resistance or deformation factors in some simplified design formats until a selected target reliability index is achieved. ‘The Load and Resistance Factor Design format and a multiple resistance factor for~ mat were selected for calibration. The reliability index was computed using the First-Order Reliability Method. The reliability indices implicit in existing de- signs were used as a basis for the selection of the target index. For reliability analysis, the wind speed was assumed to be Gumbel-distributed with a coefficient of variation of 30 percent, and the load was assumed to be propor- tional to the square of the wind speed. Geotechnical variability was systemati- cally evaluated from inherent soil variability, measurement error, and transforma~ tion model uncertainty using second-moment probabilistic methods. ‘The results of extensive reliability studies indicate that a target reliability index of 3.2 is most appropriate for foundation ultimate limit state design. For serviceability limit state, a lower target reliability index of 2.6 was chosen because of the less severe failure consequences. Both simplified design fornats can be calibrated to achieve the target reliability index. However, the multiple resistance factor format generally is more suitable for foundation design, because the format produces more uniform reliability over different design conditions, and it is more meaningful physically. ‘The resistance and deformation factors in both design formats were evaluated and tabulated for practical use. aut ACKNOWLEDGMENTS: The authors appreciate the assistance of numerous people during the course of this study and want to acknowledge their contributions.
