A fixture for securing into a soil for bearing a load. The fixture comprises body having a foundation section for insertion into the soil. An anode surface and a cathode surface are provided on the foundation section and are electrically connected to one another. The anode surface comprises a metal or metal alloy with a more negative electrode potential than the cathode surface so as to promote electrochemical reactions within regions of the soil at or adjacent the interface between the fixture and the soil for causing a cementation processes to bond soil particles together and to the foundation section.

A concentrically loaded foundation pier system which includes several concentrically stacked steel pipes filled with concrete. The entire pier is installed centrally beneath the footing of the structure. Shims are placed between the top-most pier element and a pier cap which prevents shifting when the soil expands and contracts. The final structure is end-loaded and pressed to the bedrock or other load-bearing strata. An alternative embodiment includes a temporary lifting assembly which can be fastened about the structural pier without need for bolts or other fasteners.
