Deep foundation

A deep foundation is a type of foundation which transfers building loads to the earth farther down from the surface than a shallow foundation does, to a subsurface layer or a range of depths.

A pile is a vertical structural element of a deep foundation, driven deep into the ground at the building site.

Deep foundations

There are many reasons a geotechnical engineer would recommend a deep foundation over a shallow foundation, but some of the common reasons are very large design loads, a poor soil at shallow depth, or site constraints (like property lines). There are different terms used to describe different types of deep foundations including the pile (which is analogous to a pole), the pier (which is analogous to a column), drilled shafts, and caissons. Piles are generally driven into the ground in situ; other deep foundations are typically put in place using excavation and drilling. The naming conventions may vary between engineering disciplines and firms. Deep foundations can be made out of timber, steel, reinforced concrete or prestressed concrete.

Piling

by: Bok

Di ko maintindihan
Kung bakit ako nagagalit
Kahit alam ko na
May mahal ng iba
Ano ba itong nadarama ko
Nababaliw na yatang kaiisip sa'yo
Kahit alam ko ng hindi ka na sa akin
Bakit ganito parin ang aking piling
Sa araw-araw ba namang kasama kita
Sino ba namang di masasanay sinta
Kaya ito lang ang aking masasabi
Oh mahal kita...
Kahit anong mangyari
Di ko maintindihan
Kung bakit ako naseselos
Kahit alam ko na
Sa puso mo'y meron na
Ano ba irong nadarama ko
Nababaliw na yatang kaiisip sa'yo
Kahit alam ko ng hindi ka na sa akin
Bakit ganito parin ang aking piling
Sa araw-araw ba namang kasama kita
Sino ba namang di masasanay sinta
Kaya ito lang ang aking masasabi
Oh mahal kita...
Kahit ano pang mangyari
Ikaw parin ang aking iibigin
Kahit meron ng nagmamay-ari
Basta tandaan mo ako'y nandito lagi...
Ano ba itong nadarama ko
Nababaliw na yatang kaiisip sa'yo
Kahit alam ko ng hindi ka na sa akin
Bakit ganito parin ang aking piling
Sa araw-araw ba namang kasama kita
Sino ba namang di masasanay sinta
Kaya ito lang ang aking masasabi
Jizelle mahal kita...
