Pile Cap Sub Base Preparation
Pile Cap Sub Base Preparation
(OP)
What does everyone typically specify for preparation of the sub base under a pile cap? Since the soil is not counted on for bearing support, it seems like a waste to compact it or spend alot of money improving it. There may be some cases where excavation alone will not produce a suitable surface to pour concrete on. I have seen a thin lean concrete layer specified in some cases. I would appreciate any comments or ideas.
