In deep foundations, where surface soil isn't strong enough to support heavy structures, we use piles—long vertical elements that transfer load to deeper, stronger soil layers.
🧱 Pile Cap – The unsung hero!
A thick concrete mat resting on top of piles.
Distributes load from the pier/column to multiple piles.
Ensures uniform load transfer and structural stability.
Ties the piles together to act as a single unit.
🧠 Think of it as the connecting bridge between vertical piles and the structure above!
