The DFI Journal publishes research on deep foundation systems, including the performance, design, and analysis of various pile types such as drilled displacement piles, driven piles, and augered cast-in-place piles. It covers topics related to axial and lateral load transfer, soil-structure interaction, and the application of numerical modeling and experimental testing to evaluate foundation behavior in different soil conditions. The journal also addresses advancements in ground anchoring technologies and the design of foundations for structures like wind turbines.
