How important is soil exploration drilling? Is it necessary?
After the reclamation...
Can enter the pile step together
But before going down the pile, there is another important thing, the "soil exploration drill," to keep the structure stable, strong and safe in the long run.
:: The First House. Part 8::
Soil Survey
It helps to obtain the information needed to decide on the foundation of the house, viz.
🟠 Properties of the soil layer
It allows for knowledge of soil types such as clay, sandy soil or rock layers, density and strength of soil at each depth.
It is pivotal to determine whether pilings are needed.
Or the foundation can be used if the topsoil is strong enough.
🟠 Suitable size and length of piles
Knowing the depth of the soil layer (a solid soil layer that can carry a good load), the engineer will be able to calculate the appropriate length of the pile, so that the pile effectively takes the weight of the house down to that soil layer.
Both help to calculate the load bearing power of the desired piles so that the weight of the building can be safely supported.
🟠 The risk of building subsidence.
The design of foundations that do not fit the soil conditions in the area is the main reason why buildings cause uneven collapse or subsequent cracks.
🇹🇭 in Thailand, especially Bangkok and its perimeter, there are often uneven building collapses.
One of the problems with collapse is the inappropriate use of piles.
This makes it impossible for the foundation to transfer weight down to a strong layer of soil, leading to slow subsidence.
Or in serious cases, subsidence may occur so rapidly that the walls are cracked into an oblique line and can damage the structure.
🔺 although it costs to explore the soil, this cost is not much compared to the total value of the entire building.
🔺 know soil data in advance allows the selection of the most cost-effective and qualified foundations.
The important 🔺 is to increase safety for life and property, avoid the huge cost of fixing future structural collapses.
Soil exploration drilling is like a health examination of a construction site to ensure that the selection of piles and the design of foundations will keep your home stable and safe for the rest of your life.
