To aid in the design of the Ravenel Bridge in Charleston, South Carolina, lateral 1load tests were performed on a 2.59 m diameter drilled shaft foundation before and after blasting to induce liquefaction. Excess pore pressure ratios between 75 and 100% were induced to a depth of 13 m using explosive charges. Following blasting, the stiffness of the load-deflection curve decreased to about 15% of its pre-blast value and the reduced lateral resistance led to a 100% increase in the maximum bending moment. Back-calculated p-y curves generally had concave upward curve shapes similar to those observed in previous blast-liquefaction tests at Treasure Island. The increased resistance for the 2.59 m diameter shaft could be accounted for using a constant pile diameter correction factor of nine relative to a 0.3 m diameter pile.
