  2. Lally column - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lally_column

    A Lally column is a round or square thin-walled structural steel column filled with concrete, [1] and oriented vertically to provide support to beams or timbers stretching over long spans. Lally columns are an engineered component and as such must be installed exactly as the design engineer specified.

  3. Grade beam - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Grade_beam

    A grade beam or grade beam footing is a component of a building's foundation. It consists of a reinforced concrete beam that transmits the load from a bearing wall into spaced foundations such as pile caps or caissons. [1] It is used in conditions where the surface soil's load-bearing capacity is less than the anticipated design loads.

  4. Insulating concrete form - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Insulating_concrete_form

    The first expanded polystyrene ICF Wall forms were developed in the late 1960s with the expiration of the original patent and the advent of modern foam plastics by BASF. [citation needed] Canadian contractor Werner Gregori filed the first patent for a foam concrete form in 1966 with a block "measuring 16 inches high by 48 inches long with a tongue-and-groove interlock, metal ties, and a waffle ...

  5. Underpinning - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Underpinning

    The beam and base method of underpinning is a more technically advanced adaptation of traditional mass concrete underpinning. A reinforced concrete beam is constructed below, above or in replacement of the existing footing. The beam then transfers the load of the building to mass concrete bases, which are constructed at designed strategic ...

  6. Strap footing - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Strap_footing

    A strap footing is a component of a building's foundation. It is a type of combined footing, [1] consisting of two or more column footings connected by a concrete beam. This type of beam is called a strap beam. It is used to help distribute the weight of either heavily or eccentrically loaded column footings to adjacent footings. [2]

  7. Franki piling system - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Franki_Piling_System

    A Franki pile. The Franki piling system (also called pressure-injected footing) is a method used to drive expanded base cast-in-situ concrete (Franki) piles. [1] It was developed by Belgian Engineer Edgard Frankignoul in 1909.

  8. Bollard - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bollard

    A bollard is a sturdy, short, vertical post. The term originally referred to a post on a ship or quay used principally for mooring boats. In modern usage, it also refers to posts installed to control road traffic and posts designed to prevent automotive vehicles from colliding with pedestrians and structures.

  9. Shallow foundation - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Shallow_foundation

    A combined footing is typically utilized when the spacing of the columns is too restricted such that if isolated footing were used, they would overlap one another. Also, when property lines make isolated footings eccentrically loaded, combined footings are preferred. When the load among the columns is equal, the combined footing may be rectangular.
