Many bridges on deep foundations have been built in Louisiana, and these bridges have presented construction and design problems which have been overcome by basic engineering principles used in conjunction with sound construction methods. This paper outlines a few methods for determining the depths at which piers should be set especially at bridge sites where rock cannot be reached. Although pier design is primarily the engineer’s responsibility, it is concluded that the contractor should be allowed latitude in selecting the method of construction.
