Design of equipment foundations in soft soil areas
Thread Content
I am seeking help from those experienced in the design of equipment foundations in soft soil areas: This project is located in the Yangtze River basin in Zhenjiang. The geological conditions are as follows: water level at -0.5 meters; a silt layer; and the bearing stratum is at -9.0 meters (the geological survey report is unavailable). What is designed now is a cap for prefabricated pipe pile connection equipment. Due to the limitations imposed by the on-site construction conditions, the owner suggested driving in seamless steel pipes with a diameter of 133 for bundling, or driving in wooden piles to connect with the cap. Is this approach feasible? I have no experience in dealing with weak soil foundations; I earnestly ask the experts for guidance on how to handle this situation.
Without geological surveys, no one can help you
