Cost effective foundation-design in difficult ground conditions is part
of GEODECO’s background. Pile foundations in soft delta
formations, where large negative skin friction can develop, or in
liquefaction-prone loose-saturated sand are just two examples.
Underpinning of existing buildings to provide adequate bearing capacity
and to prevent excessive settlements is part of GEODECO experience.
Special care is taken in defining suitable ground-structure interaction
parameters which are needed to evaluate the structure response under
the action of the applied loads. GEODECO relies on extensive experience
in the design of shallow and deep foundations subject to earthquake
loads. Our specialties include analysis of pile foundations keeping
into account both dynamic and kinematic effects, and design solutions
for foundations in liquefaction-prone areas.
