Samouth,, I curious to know how you can do engineering calcs etc, on a buildings foundations when you don't know if it would be built on solid land or on a filled in lake like Boeung Kak lake , where there is no solid bed for the foundation piles to sit on ..
Cambodia,,,, Don't fall in love with her.
Like the spoilt child she is, she will not be happy till she destroys herself from within and breaks your heart.

I thought the whole of Phnom Penh had soft foundations, basically a filled-in swamp? I think every building needs piles.
Jesus loves you...Mexico is great, right? ;)

Here is the soil test result. We use a lot of data from this one to calculate. There were a lot of tests to be done to get this just this one piece of paper. Hope this help.
បើសិនធ្វើចេះ ចេះឲ្យគេកោត បើសិនធ្វើឆោត ឆោតឲ្យគេអាណិត។

If you know a lot, know enough to make them respect you, if you are stupid, be stupid enough so they can pity you.

There are some decent buildings which were built following the technical. Wind load and earthquake load were included in the calculation.
