The importance of geological exploration in building pile foundations is mainly reflected in the following aspects:
1. Providing accurate data foundation:
Geological exploration can accurately identify the distribution and properties of foundation soil layers, including key information such as the composition, thickness, strength, and compressibility of the strata. These data provide an accurate basis for foundation design, ensuring that the designed foundation can adapt to the characteristics of different soil layers and reduce the risk of sinking due to differences in soil layers.
2. Assessing the bearing capacity of the foundation:
Geological exploration helps to assess the bearing capacity of the foundation and clarify the maximum load that the foundation can withstand under different conditions. This avoids the pressure applied by the building exceeding the bearing range of the foundation and effectively prevents sinking caused by overload.
3. Revealing the groundwater level:
Changes in the groundwater level have a great impact on the stability of the foundation. Through geological exploration to understand the changing laws of the groundwater level and the burial depth and other information, reasonable measures can be taken in design and construction, such as drainage or water stopping, to reduce the adverse effects caused by groundwater level fluctuations and prevent the foundation from sinking due to water.
4. Discover potential adverse geological conditions:
Geological exploration can reveal potential adverse geological conditions, such as weak soil layers, geological fault zones, karst caves, etc. Knowing these conditions in advance can enable targeted foundation treatment or special design solutions to avoid serious foundation sinking problems in these areas.
5. Guide construction methods and processes:
Geological exploration results provide construction personnel with detailed underground information, enabling them to choose appropriate construction methods and processes, ensure the quality of foundation construction, and reduce the possibility of foundation sinking from the source.
In summary, geological exploration plays a vital role in building pile foundations, and it lays a solid foundation for the safety and stability of the entire construction project.
