Think all those ppl now in construction site Anyway let me make a wild guess. To make a firm foundation when the ground are lossen enough. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Leepee 1st Gear February 25, 2010 Share February 25, 2010 Well...my uncle told me before. To test how soft the soil in that area is. There will be a laser measurement to check the sinking over a period of time. This way, they will know how deep to pile the foundation to keep the building from sinking after 30 years.

Babyt 4th Gear February 25, 2010 Share February 25, 2010 I was told by construction frens its for reducing and stabilising the tremour produced from piling...the big concrete blocks act as weight. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Modykoh 1st Gear February 25, 2010 Share February 25, 2010 I was told by construction frens its for reducing and stabilising the tremour produced from piling...the big concrete blocks act as weight. The concrete blocks act as weight, it placed for a short period of time. Prior to that the soil level is baseline taken, subsequently the soil level is re taken again. This is to ascertain the degree of sinkage. It is not used for stability purpose Further soil test is conducted via bore test, the leyers of soil and the compactness is tested. These few other tests to determine the size of the piles for the sub structure/foundation to sit on top. Some cases, no need piling but apply mess concrete. How deep to pile depends on the soil conditions, usually pile till it hit a hard ground. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dsmnd Neutral Newbie February 25, 2010 Share February 25, 2010 after pilling is done to the required depth, they'll need to test if all the piles can support the building, occupants and more. the concrete boulders act as simulated weight on the pile. measurements will be taken at certain time interval to determine the 'sinking' rate. imagine if the pile is not stabilsed yet, we'll have a collapsed building in time to come or the leaning tower of singapore? pilling has a few purposes, to compact the soil to make it firmer, transfer the loads of building to the 'bed rocks'. there's more to it, but i think this should be sufficient to answer your question.
