The present invention relates to a foundation structure vertically installed on the ground, and comprising: an upper support layer 10 formed on the ground in the vertical direction; and a lower support layer 20 formed so as to extend downward from the upper support layer 10 and such that the width thereof is less than that of the upper support layer 10. The disclosed upper support layer 10 and the lower support layer 20 are structures formed from soil solidified by means of feeding and mixing an earth and soil-solidifying agent therein, and therefore are efficient and prevent overload due to boring equipment.

The present disclosure describes various embodiments of systems, apparatuses, and methods of monitoring wind and water properties. For one such weather monitoring system, a weather monitoring station comprises an upper mast section having an instrumentation package, wherein the instrumentation package includes an orientation sensor, communications circuitry, a wind velocity sensor, and a control unit that is configured to at least receive sensor data and transmit communication data via the communications circuitry. The weather monitoring station further includes at least one lower mast section that is coupled to the upper mast section, and an anchoring system that is coupled to the lower mast section, wherein the anchoring system includes at least one subsurface anchor for inserting into a ground surface within a littoral zone of a coastal area. Other systems, apparatuses, and methods are also provided.

A modular slab, slab system, piles and methods of use thereof are described along with specific applications and methods of manufacture. The slab or slab system may be pre-insulated and pre-finished before being assembled on site. The slab system may be advantageous to use as a replacement for traditional in-situ poured building foundations. The slab system may also have uses in other fields such as for floors, roads, bridges, pavements/side walks and other civil and structural applications.

The present disclosure provides a rear-anchored V-shaped pier of a steel structure of a three-legged star-shaped pedestrian landscape bridge and a construction method. The rear-anchored V-shaped pier of a steel structure of a three-legged star-shaped pedestrian landscape bridge is applied to a main bridge arch that includes three arch legs connected into a star shape having three legs, and includes a deck-type arch-footed V-shaped pier, where the deck-type arch-footed V-shaped pier is disposed at a rear end of each arch leg. The deck-type arch-footed V-shaped pier has a top connected to the arch leg and a bottom hinged with a pile foundation of a bearing platform pre-poured on a construction ground. A tie rod is connected between the rear end of the arch leg and the pile foundation of the bearing platform, and an anchor cable tensioning structure configured to tension the tie rod is disposed on the pile foundation of the bearing platform. The present disclosure meets requirements for mounting a large-span bridge arch on a soft soil foundation, and implements mounting effect of the large-span bridge arch.
