Most of our work is also in Texas so I know exactly what kind of highly expansive clays you're talking about. I will have to look into asking the geotechs that does our soil boring on what their recommended steel minimum since they don't usually give us that. Thank you for your response, much...

JAE, I meant to type ACI 336.3R-93 in my original post. Both those documents does not reference any minimum steel requirement. We have been treating the drilled shafts as columns (via ACI 318) though so it is reassuring that its the same that was suggested. I will have to do more research just...

We have foundations at an electrical substation where all the foundations are round caissons with some having a rectangular or square top for the anchor bolt pattern. The concrete guys poured all the foundations in that substation partially up to where my rectangle/square top is suppose to...

Agreed. Most of those structures are light that they might not be controlling load case but I do still have to check it just in case. Thank you.
