Pile foundations are critical structural components that transfer building loads to deeper, more stable soil or rock layers. Research in this field encompasses both experimental studies and innovative ...

Pile foundations support vital structures in regions prone to seismic activity, yet their performance in liquefiable soils remains complex and critical for safe design. Seismic shaking can induce ...

Below-grade waterproofing systems can be critical features of building enclosure design, particularly when the structure has a deep foundation. As the foundation goes deeper, there is a greater ...

On many projects in the southeast, pile-supported footings are a staple. Numerous pile systems have been developed and utilized across the region, and one that is gaining increased attention in the ...

Can a bridge withstand an earthquake? One of the big unknowns is how far a bridge might settle from seismic shaking, especially if the shaking triggers a quicksand-like soil response called ...

A progressing transmission construction boom has notably affected the availability of qualified construction personnel and equipment, along with other resources for transmission construction projects.

Piling contractor Gauteng Piling has provided 118 auger cast in situ piles for the Kyalami Grand Prix Circuit building project, as part of the extensive upgrade of the Midrand circuit following its ...

Holding: The plain meaning of the claimed “protrusion” and “end plate” in this case does not encompass a “single, conically-shaped” end piece as found in Foundation’s accused product. The ...
