The spacing of the base of the battery and the friction of the skin in a group of batteries decides the design of the base of the battery, its efficiency and capacity in any construction. The main purpose of a pile foundation is to allow the transfer of cargo through weak soil layers. Foundations that rely on powered batteries often have groups of batteries connected by a battery (a large concrete block in which the heads of batteries are embedded). Distributing loads that are larger than a battery can carry. Isolated stacks and stacks are typically connected with grade beams to attach the foundation elements together; The lighter structural elements rest on quality beams, while the heavier elements carry directly on the top of the pile.
A pile is basically a long cylinder of a strong material like concrete that is pushed into the ground to act as a constant support for structures built on top of it.
Battery bases are used in the following situations:
1. When there is a weak soil layer on the surface. This layer can not support the weight of the building, so building loads have to pass over this layer and be transferred to the stronger soil layer or rock that is below the weak layer.
2. When a building has very heavy and concentrated loads, such as in a high-rise structure, bridge or water tank.
The foundations of piles are able to support loads higher than the scattered shoes.
