Using Prestressed Reinforced Concrete Piles as Basement Walls for High-Rise Buildings

The demand for housing has increased rapidly in the major cities of Vietnam in particular, and in the world in general, the means of transport have also increased significantly, and the standard of living is very high, leading to a series of service activities appearing while the construction area was narrow. With high-rise buildings and many basements, construction works are increasingly designed, and this design makes sense in making use of building land as well as increasing the efficiency of building use. There are currently some construction methods for building houses with basements, such as pile construction method is done, then dig the soil to the bottom of the foundation and then build the house from the bottom up, or build according to the soil wall method (barrette wall), or the topdown method, semi-topdown methods, etc. Each methodology has its own advantages and disadvantages.
