Quality Assurance Methods for Risk Reduction in Cast-in-Place Deep Foundation Design and Construction
Quality Assurance Methods for Risk Reduction in Cast-in-Place Deep Foundation Design and Construction
Modern designs use higher foundation loads, fewer elements, and optimized lengths. Each foundation must therefore meet its load and performance demands. Quality assurance (QA) methods reduce risk by detecting and evaluating design or construction variations. QA methods are presented that check verticality, excavation profile, base cleanliness, concrete quality, concrete cover, and geotechnical capacity of cast-in-place foundations thus improving quality, durability, and performance.
