<p>This Architectural Drawing is AutoCAD 2d drawing of pile cap working Drawing. <strong>Piles are used to carry the load of the structure deep into the ground, and pile caps form the solid foundation on which the piers are then built</strong>. Pile caps <strong>create a stable foundation and offer a larger area for the distribution of the building load onto the piles</strong>. They act in a similar way to piled raft foundations, where a concrete slab rests on soil which may be susceptible to movement, above a group of piles.
