【For Architectural Design Offices】 Optimization of Pile Length for Steel Frame Buildings on Narrow Sites | Geotech
Optimize pile length for small sites using neighboring data and on-site surveys.
In structural design at architectural firms, the construction of steel buildings on narrow urban sites often faces challenges due to the influence of adjacent buildings and road width restrictions, making it difficult to bring in large machinery. This can lead to an inability to accurately assess the slope of the supporting layer, resulting in excessive pile length design. Our ground investigation combines the analysis of neighboring data from our extensive ground information database "GEODAS," accumulated mainly in the metropolitan area, with precise on-site surveys using small self-propelled machines, to address these issues. By analyzing surrounding boring column diagrams and N-value distributions in advance, we conduct sounding tests tailored to site constraints during the on-site investigation. By correlating both sets of data, we identify complex layer thickness variations and the depth of local supporting layers, allowing us to calculate the optimal pile length without excess. This achieves a balance between reducing material and construction costs while ensuring the necessary allowable bearing capacity for the structure. 【Application Scenarios】 - Narrow urban sites - Sites with narrow access roads or delivery routes - Cases where adjacent buildings are in close proximity - Cases where the slope and depth of the supporting layer are unclear 【Benefits of Implementation】 - Cost reduction by preventing excessive design - Reliable assurance of the necessary bearing capacity for structures - Realization of ground investigations in confined spaces - Balancing safety and economy
