Soil reinforcement

Soil reinforcement is the process that is carried out to increase the bearing capacity of the foundation in cases where the minimum bearing capacity is not reached in the construction project. This process is carried out by excavating the ground until we reach the soil layer defined in the geological profile, and then in order to capture the quota of the base of the foundation, it is filled with material with characteristics defined in the project and analyzed in the laboratory. Filling is done with layers every 20 cm compressed with a roller. In order to ensure a compact compression with a coefficient of 98% and a standart bearing capacity within the required minimum, static tests with plates are carried out on site. In cases where the excavation quotas are too low and create unstable cracks, the reinforcement of the foundation is done with concrete piles of class C12/15 which serve to transfer the load from the foundation to the soil with a good formation
