The Future of Pile Foundation: Sustainable and Efficient Footing Systems
Footings are very crucial for any building structure to ensure the safety and strength of the foundation remain intact. Earlier pile foundation generally required concrete since concrete is a good material for handling the weight of the whole building. However, with time and improved technology concrete-free footings have also been developed that are quite strong and offer a stable footing. Nowadays these house stumps are made from steel and unique hybrid designs are quite great in handling stress, shear forces, moment loads, and various other forces like gravity. These footings are quite different from the traditional piles and are also available as directional piles. During the construction of a building or new structure, there can be existing or new services that are built underground hence the need for these directional piles. With concrete-free footings, one can ensure that all the building compliances are fulfilled and also the building is built as per the regulations. Nowad...
