Upload NowThe depth of a well foundation is decided based on the following three considerations: 1. Maximum scour depth below the highest flood level (HFL). 2. Minimum grip length below the scour level. 3. Allowable bearing capacity. The depth of a well foundation is thus equal to the sum of the maximum scour depth and the […]

Tilting is the deviation of the vertical alignment of the well and shifting is the deviation from the horizontal alignment. Tilting and shifting are associative; shifting occurs if tilting is large and uncontrolled. Shifting can be eliminated, if the well […]
