Which type of foundation is used in sea link project bridge?
There are two ways to set out foundation on a steep slope :- 1. Cut and fill refers to the process of leveling out the ground for the foundation by adding soil, removing it, or both. Soil may be brought in to fill the plot and make it level, or it can be dug (cut) from the slope and either trucked oRead more
There are two ways to set out foundation on a steep slope :-
1. Cut and fill refers to the process of leveling out the ground for the foundation by adding soil, removing it, or both. Soil may be brought in to fill the plot and make it level, or it can be dug (cut) from the slope and either trucked out or used to shore up retaining walls for the home. Depending on the grade, soil conditions, and other factors, cutting and filling can make construction multiple time more expensive than that for a home on a flat site.
2. Using stilts is an alternative to cutting into the slope that involves using a crane to lift the home onto supporting wood or steel columns. This can be a much more cost-effective method than cut and fill and can also open up the realm of possibilities for home replacement such as building out water over trees or water.

Most commonly, they use reinforced pile. For e.g., Bandra Worli sea link. The foundations for the BWSL's cable-stayed bridges consist of 120 reinforced concrete piles of 2,000 mm (6.6 ft) diameter. Those for the viaducts consist of 484 piles of 1,500 mm (4.9 ft). These 604 piles were driven betweenRead more

These 604 piles were driven between 6m and 34m into the substrata in geotechnical conditions that varied from highly weathered volcanic material to massive high strength rocks.
