pile cap

June 5 - Pile cap and pier construction underway on the bridge.

Again, the pile caps are usually linked by reinforced concrete beams to support the entire length of the wall.

The cast concrete pile cap distributes the load of the building into the piles.

Piers sit atop pile caps on wooden pilings approximately 70 feet deep.

Routine checks at Hartlepool nuclear power station discovered some contamination on the reactor pile cap.

Each of the two concrete riverside piers are supported on four 500 mm hollow steel piles and a pile cap.

The support columns were then detached from the original footings, leaving the building sitting on the load transfer beams and pile caps.

When the caisson is dewatered, this plug acts as a pile cap, resisting the upward forces of the subsoil.

The winter uniform also included a fur pile cap or a steel helmet, boots, knitted gray gloves, belt, and suspenders.

The foundation of this bridge consists of 1282 piles done by rotary rig method over which pile caps and piers have been built upon.

It consists of a reinforced concrete beam that transmits the load from a bearing wall into spaced foundations such as pile caps or caissons.

Each pier structure is composed of pier columns and cap supported on a pile cap and piles/shafts with nonlinear soil.

Construction work at the viaduct is underway and includes foundation activities, piling installation, reinforcement of concrete pile caps, pier elevations and pier heads.

A similar structure to a pile cap is a "raft", which is a concrete foundation floor resting directly onto soft soil which may be liable to subsidence.

The steel structure is supported on concrete piers that are supported on a large concrete pile cap that rests on auger-cast-in-place piles.

The pile and beam system usually involves constructing pairs of piles on either side of the wall and linking them with a pile cap to support the wall.

A centre tower, with an overall height of 128 metres above pile cap level, supports the superstructure by means of four planes of cable stay in a semi-harp arrangement.

Not only is the pier structurally sound, it also retains a number of design elements from the original pier including haunches at the pile caps and corbels supporting light standards.

Construction includes precast concrete bowl seating, steel framed elevated slabs, post-tensioned slabs-on-grade and an auger cast pile foundation with concrete grade beams and pile caps.

On the pile cap beneath the water line are four 3 m cylindrical concrete legs onto which are bolted and welded the four inclined gray steel legs visible above water.

A pile cap is a thick concrete mat that rests on concrete or timber piles that have been driven into soft or unstable ground to provide a suitable stable foundation.

Between deep breaths and his efforts to pull the white hood over the brown pile cap he wore, Colonel Anatol Vorishnov spoke in a sigh, half to himself, half to Dixon.

Then, using a specially designed doughnut-shaped pile cap as a support system, the engineers worked with the form work contractor to hang the casino's floor structure on the supporting caissons like a huge wharf.

The original concrete support columns were then attached to a network of new load transfer beams, which extended horizontally from under the building, and were supported by pile caps under and along the perimeter of the capitol.

Once all the isolators had been installed the temporary supports between the pile caps and load transfer beams were removed, leaving the beams to sit directly on the isolators, which sit on the concrete mat foundation.
