Optimization of Pile Length for Narrow Steel Frame Buildings in Logistics Warehouses | Geotech

Economic and safe seismic reinforcement of logistics warehouses through neighboring data and on-site surveys.

In seismic reinforcement of logistics warehouses, it is essential to ensure the stability of existing buildings while considering future safety in the foundation design. Particularly in urban areas or regions with dense existing infrastructure, the limited site space can make it difficult to bring in large machinery, which may prevent adequate ground surveys from being conducted. This can lead to challenges in accurately identifying the support layer, raising concerns about excessive pile length design. GeoTech addresses this issue by combining neighborhood data analysis from its extensive ground information database "GEODAS," accumulated mainly in the metropolitan area, with precise on-site surveys using small self-propelled machines. By analyzing surrounding ground data from multiple perspectives in advance and conducting optimal sounding tests tailored to site constraints, we can accurately identify the support layer even under complex ground conditions and calculate the optimal pile length without excess or deficiency. This ensures the necessary bearing capacity for seismic reinforcement while also contributing to cost reduction. 【Usage Scenarios】 - Logistics warehouses in urban areas or regions with dense existing infrastructure - Sites with limited space where large machinery cannot be brought in - Seismic reinforcement work for existing buildings - Cases where ground conditions are complex and identifying the support layer is difficult
