- xenadu02 5y agoI'm not sure either but I did find confirmation that San Francisco no longer allows friction piles for any high-rise buildings in areas with "infirm" soils. Piles must be driven to bedrock.
- kelnos 5y agoThe downvotes are likely because the parent clearly didn't read the entire article, and presented information in conflict with it. The engineering team is testing modified drilling techniques so they can resume repair work, this time (hopefully) without causing more accelerated settling. This is all outlined in the article, and it's frustrating to see people commenting when they haven't read it.
