What is Plate Load Test?
Plate load test is done at site to determine the ultimate bearing capacity of soil and settlement of foundation under the loads for cla

Soil investigation is carried out to estimate the engineering properties of soils, which depends on soil structure, i.e. nature of soil grains and their arrange

PILES AND PILE CAPS
When the bearing capacity of soil immediately below the structure is insufficient for a spread footing, then piles are used to transfer the

The Pile load capacity calculation will determine the ultimate load the pile foundation can take under service load condition. This capacity is also called as b

Pile integrity test (PIT) is defined as a qualitative evaluation of the integrity of piles. As per ASTM D5882, pile integrity comprises the material’s phy

The installation process and methods of pile foundations are critical components of any construction project, paralleling the importance of the design process.

Pile foundation spacing and skin friction in a pile group decides the design of pile foundation, its efficiency and capacity in any construction. The main purpo

The selection of pile foundation depends on the soil investigation data received from soil exploration bore holes at different depths. Selection of appropriate

Different types of material used in the pile foundation are cement, steel, timber and plastic which are a slender, structural member installed in the ground to

Selection of pile foundations based on cost vs. other foundations for construction projects and factors affecting pile foundation cost is discussed.
