Revenue-earning Seismic Resistant Structural Foundation
Pile foundations for buildings exist to support the weight of above-ground structures and withstand earthquakes and strong winds. However, structures designed solely for support cannot utilise the space below ground. To address this, we have developed a large-diameter lower structure with superior seismic resistance compared to conventional pile foundations. This structure consists of mechanically stable cylindrical press-in pile continuous walls. By utilising the internal space as a car park or bicycle parking area, we have created a “Revenue-earning Seismic Resistant Structural Foundation”, combining the role of a foundation with additional functions.
