Viable basement and foundation scheme
Given that the proposed structure is a steel building, the foundations will be driven piles supplemented by ground beams also driven into the basement walls. On the other hand, the basement will be built from steel sheets since these are highly cost effective and most ideal to retain the structure. In such a case, a viable foundation scheme is proposed.
Foundation scheme and justification.
First of all, a pile foundation is essential since it is capable of supporting heavy concentrated loads compared to spread footings. End-bearing driven piles are preferred instead of friction piles since they will be pushed into the ground using ...
