| Summary: | Pile caps act as a raft foundation that is embedded on piles. For economical purposes, group of piles that are closely penetrated were provided one large cap instead of individually, thus forming a piled raft foundation. The purpose of this report is to have better perception upon the construction process of pile caps at Bukit Teratai, Cheras, Selangor as well as to investigate the problems occurred caused by weather and unfortunate accidents on site and few actions taken to solve them. Spun piles were used and penetrated the soil by means of 9T IPH hydraulic hammer and reinforced cast in-situ pile caps were constructed on site. To conclude, the structure of pile caps is hidden and covered by soil as it is almost immediately backfilled, therefore, it is difficult to get insight on the structure of pile-to-pile caps connections. Thus, this research can provide an overview of the structure of pile caps. |
