Steel pipes can beneficially be used where high resistance is required against shock or vibration. Even under the toughest condition, steel pipes can be used because of the elasticity, ductility and freedom from brittleness.

The consolidation settlement consists of two parts. In conventional soil mechanics, Terzaghi’s theory of one dimensional consolidation is widely used despite some limitations. In order to know
