ADSC published a summary of some research being conducted by the University of Texas, Arlington (UTA) through funding by TxDOT. The research involves the lateral load testing of drilled shafts that are used for cable barriers in median applications in the State of Texas. The South Central Chapter of ADSC donated the drilling, setting of steel and placement of concrete for the project.  (Photo by TxDOT via ADSC)
