Load Transfer Platform Design. The comparison during the design phase between at least two alternative solutionsthe design of the foundation with the help of a classical pile or pile raft solution and the possibility to use soil mix elements covered by a load transfer platform made of granular material possibly reinforced with geosynthetics. Geoweb load transfer platforms reduce pile columns.
Interchangeable without design review and amendment. The ability of the geoweb three dimensional system to spread loads effectively allows it to bridge and distribute those loads to a layout using fewer pile columns increasing the spacing between columns in contrast to traditional concrete. For the load transfer platform a typical minimum thickness of 4001200 mm is required to allow for appropriate load transfer between ddcs and soil.
The collin method is a refinement of a method sometimes referred to as the guido method and assumes that.
