DFI, EFFC Launch Guide to Deep Foundations Support Fluids
Groups Aim to Develop Definitive, Two-Volume Set
The Deep Foundations Institute (DFI) and the European Federation of Foundation Contractors (EFFC) announce the release of the first edition of their EFFC/DFI Guide to Support Fluids for Deep Foundations.
In a release, the DFI says the guide represents “state of the art of support fluid practice” and aims to improve existing design, testing and practices for deep foundation elements: bored piles (drilled shafts), barrettes (LBEs) and diaphragm wall panels. It says this is the first time that knowledge of good practice from around the world has been brought together into a single, authoritative publication.
