  2. Vibro stone column - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Vibro_stone_column

    Stone columns are made across the area to be improved in a triangular or rectangular grid pattern. They have been used in Europe since the 1950s, and in the United States since the 1970s. [ 1 ] Column depth depends on local soil strata, and usually penetrates weak soil.

  3. List of places with columnar jointed volcanics - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_places_with...

    Basalt columns seen on Porto Santo Island, Portugal. Columnar jointing of volcanic rocks exists in many places on Earth. Perhaps the most famous basalt lava flow in the world is the Giant's Causeway in Northern Ireland, in which the vertical joints form polygonal columns and give the impression of having been artificially constructed.

  4. Deep foundation - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Deep_foundation

    The typical construction process for a wind turbine subsea monopile foundation in sand includes driving a large hollow steel pile, of some 4 m in diameter with approximately 50mm thick walls, some 25 m deep into the seabed, through a 0.5 m layer of larger stone and gravel to minimize erosion around the pile.

  5. Joint (geology) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Joint_(geology)

    Typically, such columns are hexagonal, although 3-, 4-, 5- and 7-sided columns are relatively common. The diameter of these prismatic columns ranges from a few centimeters to several metres. They are often oriented perpendicular to either the upper surface and base of lava flows and the contact of the tabular igneous bodies with the surrounding ...

  6. Foundation (engineering) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Foundation_(engineering)

    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.

  7. Soil liquefaction - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Soil_liquefaction

    Mitigation methods have been devised by earthquake engineers and include various soil compaction techniques such as vibro compaction (compaction of the soil by depth vibrators), dynamic compaction, and vibro stone columns. [24] These methods densify soil and enable buildings to avoid soil liquefaction. [25]

  8. Earthquake engineering - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Earthquake_engineering

    Dry-stone walls of Machu Picchu Temple of the Sun, Peru. Peru is a highly seismic land; for centuries the dry-stone construction proved to be more earthquake-resistant than using mortar. People of Inca civilization were masters of the polished 'dry-stone walls', called ashlar, where blocks of stone were cut to fit together tightly without any ...

  9. Columnar jointing - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Columnar_jointing

    Columnar jointing is a geological structure where sets of intersecting closely spaced fractures, referred to as joints, result in the formation of a regular array of polygonal prisms (basalt prisms), or columns. Columnar jointing occurs in many types of igneous rocks and forms as the rock cools and contracts.
