8. FOUNDATION : PILES
Piles are long slender members that carry and
transfer the load of the structure to the ground
located at some depth below the ground and the earth
surrounding the piles.
Bored cast in-situ friction RCC piles of diameter 1000
mm.
M35 grade of concrete was used at our site.
Average depth of the piles was 20 m. 8
