A soil stabilizer assembly may include a pipe with a first end, a second end, and a sidewall defining a hollow shaft extending between the first and second ends; a stabilizer connectable to the second end of the pipe with a hollow body and a plurality of extensions extending radially outward from the body; and a cap connectable to the first end of the pipe including a receiving portion for receiving the first end of the pipe and a plate extending across the receiving portion. The hollow body of the stabilizer may be configured to receive the second end at least a portion of the sidewall of the pipe therethrough. The receiving portion of the cap may be configured to receive the first end and at least a portion of the hollow shaft of the pipe therein. The hollow shaft, hollow body, and receiving portion may be coaxially arranged.

This invention is detailing a construction method for a cast in-situ pile having an upper section with a larger diameter and at least one subsequent section with a smaller diameter, and a drilling device equipped with continuous flights which allows the construction of one pile having multiple diameters using the innovative construction method in a single continuous drilling phase while each drilling tool is penetrating through the soil in one pass.

The drilling tool according to the invention has a central hollow space that allows accommodation through it of at least one another smaller diameter drilling tool that can drill continuously and can be coupled by means of a coupling-decoupling device in a specific manner to the other drilling tool in order to act as a fixed assembly, at any given position in relation to the smaller drilling tool length and rotating position.

A kit for use to support a building member such as a guide for a door for use in post frame construction includes a column defining a longitudinal axis of the column. The column has opposed first and second ends. The kit further includes a connector extending from the first end of the column. The connector has a first set of connecting features and a second set of connecting features. The second set of connecting features is at least partially distinct from the first set of connecting features. The kit further includes a first physical feature for engaging the building member and a second physical feature for engaging the building member. The second physical feature has at least one feature different from the corresponding feature of the first physical feature. The first set of connecting features secures the first physical feature to the column and the second set of connecting features secures the second set of physical features to the column.

A pile ground anchoring member is disclosed which includes an elongate member having a longitudinal axis, and an anchoring portion connected to the elongate member. The anchoring portion has a plate and also an arcuate member that is radially spaced from the elongate member. The plate has an arcuate distal edge. The plate is connected to the elongate member at a non-perpendicular angle to the longitudinal axis. The arcuate member is located on the arcuate distal edge of the plate. The plate has a leading portion which includes a lower portion of the arcuate distal edge that extends beyond the arcuate member and engages the earth as the pile is screwed into the ground.
