Materials like cement, steel, wood and plastics, a small, structural part installed on the floor to transmit the structural loads on the soils at a substantial depth below the structure base, are different kinds of material used on the piling foundation.
The most commonly used material for the building of piles are as follows;
Steel:
Produced of high-quality, the underpinning of steel are made of H, X or dense tubes. Suitable for long-length handling and driving. Its tiny cross-sectional region coupled with its high strength facilitates penetration into solid soil.
You can easily cut or join them with welding. The danger of corrosion occurs when the stack is pushed into low-pH earth. However, tar coating or cathodic protection in continuous works can be used to prevent decay.
The piling is simple to manage and can be cut readily to the required length. Thick layers can guide it. The lateral movement of the soil during the drive can be split or bolted comparatively readily (Stael Section H or I section piles). It can be pushed tough and very long.
It can transport heavy loads.
Concrete:
The concrete(precast) underpinning is built and strengthened in high quality controlled concrete. Forms such as a square, triangle, circle or octagon are available. It can be connected, and any length can be reached with a compromise to the design capacity. The standard size is 1 m in height. To resist the handling and driving stresses, strengthening is essential in the stack.
The most commonly used concrete piling is cast in position for foundations because of the large variety of the stack and the introduction into the soil of the concrete.
Wood:
In the old days, stacks of wood were used for piling. But in the last few years, the use of this in pile bases has drastically decreased owing to a scarcity of timber. Wood is best suited for long piling and piling of cohesion under reeds. The wood should have been in good shape and not attacked by insects.
It is essential that the wood underpinning in Eastern Suburbs should be pulled correctly and not pushed to the floor, as the stack can readily be damaged.
The timber will safeguard the wood against decomposition and rot if it is kept below the groundwater level. Timber underpinning can be fitted with a toe cover to preserve and reinforce the tip of the stack.
Plastic:
Plastic piling in Eastern Suburbs consists of a wide range of composites, including plastic composites, PVC and materials reused. These stacks are used in a unique environment and soil areas subjected to seasonal change, such as marine settings.
