TRB Centennial Circular: History and Future Perspectives on Foundation Design for Transportation Structures

There are hundreds if not thousands of variables to consider in foundation design, which require coordination between civil, structural, and geotechnical engineers as well as state departments of transportation (DOTs), environmental planners and other stakeholders, and require knowledge of the many design codes and constantly emerging research and design guidance.

The TRB Technical Activity Division's Transportation Research Circular E-C273: TRB Centennial Circular: History and Future Perspectives on Foundation Design for Transportation Structures brings special focus to these constantly evolving variables, research, and engineering considerations, and pays tribute to our industry, leadership, and contributions of the Transportation Research Board as we have grown to understand these issues.

Supplemental to the circular is a YouTube video.
