This morning we had to find information in our groups based on a type of pile that we were given to research about.Ours was cantilever Piles,The cantilever piles are driven into the ground,2 of the 3 thirds is driven in the earth,H5 treatment timber is used to prevent rotting and the boring from insects.The bearers are then fixed to the piles using m12 Galv bolts with 50x50x3mm gavl square washers.No concrete is used and no footings are dug.These battle earthquakes and high winds(Horizontal),mostly all weathering.All the vertical load is also transfered from the house to the bearers to the piles.
After I gathered the info we had to draw up a quick sketch of the pile and how it is used.Everyone completed this and now i have a much better understanding of piles and what piles are suitable for different terrain ect.
Me,Brad and Takey then moved back onto finishing the internal walls of the house build.We come across a few small errors,luckily we re-checked the measurements.We lended up connecting the bathroom,toilet and linen walls together,All the studs,dwangs and trims were then nailed in.We are pretty close to finishing all the walls,next up,exterior walls.
