Course: A course is a horizontal layer of bricks or stones. Bed : it is the surface of stone perpendicular to the line of pressure. It indicates the lower surface of bricks or stones in each course. Back : the inner surface of a wall which is not exposed is called the back. The material forming the back is known as backing.

General inspection: Usual inspection of representative parts of a structure. Principal inspection: It involves close examination of all inspectable parts of the bridge structure and adjacent earthworks. Structures with weight restrictions. Hence, the bridge must be regularly inspected and maintained for the benefit of its users.

Piles may also be used where the soil is particularly affected by seasonal changes, to transfer the load below the level of such influence. The load carrying (bearing) capacity of a pile is the sum of the end bearing capacity and the skin friction capacity between the peripheral area of the pile and the surrounding soil.

Restraint fixings are designed to hold panels back and transfer all horizontal forces (such as wind pressure or suction) to the structure. These fixings must also be able to accommodate any differential movement between structure and cladding. In load bearing situations a bolt has a number of forces to resist.

We will discuss here the load carrying capacity of both single pile and group of piles. SINGLE PILE CAPACITY: Vertical Load: The allowable resistance to compression R ac of a single pile is provided by the end bearing, F eb and the skin friction for each strata,F sf. Thus A pile can also resist a tensile load.
