Description
A typical concrete pier detail, drawn in section at 1:20, showing a bored pier taken down to rock to support a column or footing above. The pier is socketed a minimum of 100mm into rock, carries a vertical reinforcing cage, and the drawing refers back to the pier schedule on the plans for the diameter and reinforcement – the standard way to found a structure on variable or sloping ground where competent rock is at depth.
It is a reusable standard you drop into a set of structural or footing drawings and dimension to suit the engineer’s pier schedule, rather than redrawing the socket, cage and ground line each time.
