  2. Deep foundation - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Deep_foundation

    Both the diameter of the pile and the depth of the pile are highly specific to the ground conditions, loading conditions, and nature of the project. Pile depths may vary substantially across a project if the bearing layer is not level. Drilled piles can be tested using a variety of methods to verify the pile integrity during installation.

  3. Pile integrity test - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pile_integrity_test

    Pile integrity testing using low-strain tests such as the TDR (Transient Dynamic Response) method, is a rapid way of assessing the continuity and integrity of concrete piled foundations. The test measures: pile length, or depth to anomalies; pile head stiffness; pile shaft mobility, which is dependent on pile section and concrete properties

  4. Deep plan - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Deep_plan

    A deep plan building is a building in which the horizontal distance between exterior walls is many times greater than the floor to floor height. Deep plan buildings make more efficient use of site area. They also cost less to build per unit floor area because of their smaller wall to floor area ratio.

  5. Franki piling system - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Franki_Piling_System

    Franki piles can be used as high-capacity deep foundation elements without the necessity of excavation or dewatering. [4] They are useful in conditions where a sufficient bearing soil can only be reached deeper in the ground, [5] [6] and are best suited to granular soil where bearing is primarily achieved from the densification of the soil around the base. [4]

    Shallow foundations of a house versus the deep foundations of a skyscraper. Foundation with pipe fixtures coming through the sleeves. In engineering, a foundation is the element of a structure which connects it to the ground or more rarely, water (as with floating structures), transferring loads from the structure to the ground.

  9. Floor plan - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Floor_plan

    Floor plans use standard symbols to indicate features such as doors. This symbol shows the location of the door in a wall and which way the door opens. A floor plan is not a top view or bird's-eye view; it is a measured drawing to scale of the layout of a floor in a building.
