Cleaner air and other Natural Resources, greater pest control, healthier plants and soils, lower city and county garbage collection bills, and more sanitary buildings and lawns are ways that compost piles affect the environment in the short term. Carbon- and nitrogen-rich recyclables, kitchen scraps, and yard debris go into compost piles instead of in garbage cans and landfills. Compost piles produce natural, organic soil amendments, fertilizers, mulches, and rejuvenators that replace environmentally-unfriendly chemical inputs.

What are short board pile foundation?

if its what i think it is , a pile is used as a deep foundation support for a building structure for use on soft ground to give solid support for the new building to "rest" on , short and deep piles are used by a drilling rig and filled with steel cages and concrete and then the pillars of the structure are set onto them , hope this helps im sure you meant SHORT BORE , the smaller and lighter the building the smaller piles that are needed (think of a 4 legged chair the legs being the piles the seat being the building and hey presto).


What are short bored pile foundations?

Short bored pile foundations Where the subsoil is of firm, shrinkable clay, which is subject to volume change due to deep rooted vegetation for some depth below the surface and where the subsoil is of soft, or uncertain bearing capacity for a few metres below the surface, it may be economic and satisfactory to use a system of short bored piles as a foundation. Piles are concrete columns, which are either precast and driven (hammered) into the ground or cast in holes that are augured (drilled) into the ground down to a level of a firm, stable stratum of subsoil The piles that are excavated to a depth of 4 m below the surface are termed short bore, which refers to the comparatively short length of the piles as compared to the much longer piles used for larger buildings. Short bored piles are generally from 2 to 4 m long and from 250 to 350 mm diameter. Holes are augered into the ground by machine. An auger is a form of drill comprising a rotating shaft with cutting blades that screw into the ground. The soil is either withdrawn and lifted to the surface as the shaft rotates or, with small augers, once the auger has cut into the ground it is withdrawn and the soil removed from the blades. The advantage of this system of augered holes is that samples of the subsoil are withdrawn, from which the nature and bearing capacity of the subsoil may be assessed. The piles may be formed of concrete or, more usually, a light steel cage of reinforcement is lowered into the hole and concrete poured or pumped into the hole and compacted to form a pile foundation. The piles are cast underneath the corners and intersection of load bearing walls and at regular intervals between to reduce the span and depth of the reinforced ground beam, which transfers the wall and building loads to the foundation. A reinforced concrete ground beam is then cast over the piles. The spacing of the piles depends on the loads to be supported and on economic sections of ground beam, see
