Weight steel frame foundations investigation
Most important one by building a house
May it is called a unsung hero!
It is investigating what foundations it being.
Since a weight steel frame is heavy
If drilling investigation is conducted and the strength of foundations is not known
A house strong against an earthquake is not made.
Then, what is known by drilling investigation?
Drilling investigation
60km weight is dropped and 30cm of steel pipes is stuck,
Or [ it dropped weight how many times (the number of times is called N value) ]
The strength of foundations is investigated.
A left photograph is the report of drilling investigation.
Then, does N value have how many good times?
Generally for sand, 10-15 are common.
For a gravel, 15-30 are common.
As for clay, 5-8 are common.
Therefore, it is good to support a house in the place beyond this.
However, watery sand
Since it is easy to liquefy at the time of an earthquake, cautions are required.
A left photograph is the object sample of the ground of drilling investigation.
Exact judgment cannot be performed if there is this [ no ].
Expense is about 1,250 dollars(150,000 yen).


A left drawing is the geology of Nagoya-shi.
1. Deep yellow is the Atsuta layer of a good stratum.
2. Pink is the Ozone layer Komaki gravel layer of a good stratum.
3. Blue is the Toriimatu layer of a good stratum.
4. Orange is Yagoto layer of a good stratum.
5. Green is the Tokai layer of a hard stratum.
6. The thin yellow which is west here and there is the alluvium of a loose sands layer.
7. White is the alluvium of loose clay and a silt stratum.

The area noticed about an earthquake or especially flood damage could be called No.6 and No.7.
Moreover, the area noticed especially about a typhoon could be called No.4 and No.5.
Only it and a fire want to take care anywhere.

A strong house protects a family's life too.
