Minimum distance between the piles to permit the bore successively

Question

Accepted Answer

The minimum distance between piles to permit the bore successively depends on various factors such as soil conditions, pile diameter, and construction method.

The minimum distance between piles should be determined based on the soil conditions. If the soil is weak or loose, a larger distance between piles may be required to ensure stability.
The diameter of the piles also plays a role in determining the minimum distance. Larger diameter piles may require more space between them.
The construction method used for installing the piles can also affect the minimum distance. For example, if a drilling method is used, the piles may need to be spaced further apart compared to a method that involves driving the piles into the ground.
Local building codes and regulations may provide specific guidelines for the minimum distance between piles.
Consulting with a geotechnical engineer or a structural engineer is recommended to determine the appropriate minimum distance between piles for a specific project.
