Construction of well foundation consists of the following stages: 1. Laying the Cutting Edge 2. Alignment Control 3. Construction of Well Curb 4. Construction of Well Steining 5. Well Sinking. Stage # 1. Laying the Cutting Edge: Well foundations are constructed in stages by sinking under self-weight as well as dredging the soil inside the dredge hole and on the [...]
In this article we will discuss about:- 1. Introduction to Well Foundations 2. Caissons and Its Types 3. Shapes 4. Components. Introduction to Well Foundations: Well foundations are one of the types of deep foundations that provide a solid and massive foundation typically for bridges and heavy structures. Well foundations are also useful for transmission line towers, where uplift loads [...]
When the worst possible combination of forces is identified, the resultant of these forces is determined and its components along the three coordinate axes are determined, that is, W is the component of the resultant in the vertical direction, P is the component of the resultant across the pier in the horizontal direction, and Q is the component of the [...]
