Pile foundations are critical structural components that transfer building loads to deeper, more stable soil or rock layers. Research in this field encompasses both experimental studies and innovative ...

Pile foundations support vital structures in regions prone to seismic activity, yet their performance in liquefiable soils remains complex and critical for safe design. Seismic shaking can induce ...

On many projects in the southeast, pile-supported footings are a staple. Numerous pile systems have been developed and utilized across the region, and one that is gaining increased attention in the ...

2003-02-02 04:00:00 PDT Oakland-- In the year since Gov. Gray Davis donned a Caltrans hard hat and declared construction of the new eastern span of the Bay Bridge under way, it's been difficult for ...

Holding: The plain meaning of the claimed “protrusion” and “end plate” in this case does not encompass a “single, conically-shaped” end piece as found in Foundation’s accused product. The ...

United Structural Systems of Illinois (847-382-2882) has expanded its commercial helical pile installation services across ...

Frost heave can drastically affect a solar project’s life span. When water freezes in subsurface soils, it forms ice lenses that shift and move upward. The movement of this ice causes racking systems ...

In the early 1990s Barry Herbert, then president of Otsego, Mich.,-based concrete contractor Herbert Construction Co., learned an alternative method for forming footings. Barry spoke with Ron Colvin, ...
