WHAT TYPE OF SOIL ARE MOST FAVOURABLE FOR THE USE OF GROUND SCREWS!
The most favourable soil for ground screws are clay and sandy soil, owing to the large surface area of the helix, a ground screw have a better carrying capacity than standard steel ground screw, the good carrying capacity means that adequate capacity ia attainable even in layers of clay or sand, ground screws do not often need to be installed as deep as in piles driving, and thus both the length and costs of the ground screws are often lower then in ground screw-driven foundations, also, installation of ground screw succeeds best in clay and sandy soils. wiyh machine installation, ground screw can be installed also in moraines.
