UCON Structures LLP has been awarded the Design & Build contract for constructing a diaphragm wall for Amara Foundations at St. Mary’s Road, Chennai. The project posed significant engineering challenges …

Ground settlement is the gradual downward shift of the ground surface caused by the compression or displacement of underlying soil layers. It can lead to surface depressions, cracks, and misalignments …

UCON STRUCTURES LLP specialises in providing foundational services for modern building construction. With 2 decades of expertise, the company effectively addresses a variety of geographical and geological challenges. Their expertise …

The concept of using stabilizers for soil stabilization to enhance its bearing capacity evolved from horticultural practices, where stabilizer products were initially used to treat soil for improved plant growth. …

Pile foundations involve driving or drilling piles deep into the ground until they reach a stable, load-bearing stratum. These foundations are important for transferring the structure’s load to the underlying …

The inherent advantages of the conventional planar reinforcing elements and the passive resistances offered by the additional members render three dimensional reinforcements, ideal for earth reinforcement. Their use is gradually …

A diaphragm wall is a continuous, reinforced concrete wall constructed underground to support and retain soil. It is commonly used in large-scale construction projects such as deep basements, tunnels, and …

Temperature variations are important for foundation design as they can create substantial structural challenges. These structural challenges include temperature-induced soil shifts, expansion, and contraction, which can result in issues such …

Numerical simulation was carried out on a 6 m high embankment and crest width of 2 m composed of four different type of soils varying in their particle size: silty …

Post-tensioning and geotechnical engineering play important roles in ensuring the stability and longevity of buildings and structures. Post-tensioning enhances a building’s strength and durability, enabling innovative designs and minimizing structural …
