Geotechnical site investigation at the site dictates that ground water is located at shallower depth and the top 10 m layer of the site is sand soil followed by clayey sand. Using these data, which of the following is NOT true? A. As the piles are cast-in-situ piles, the quality of construction of the piles can be reduced. B. Use of casings during the construction of the piles is a must. C. Caution must be made while pouring the concrete as concrete segregation can happen. D. As there will be flow of water to the bore hole, it is a good idea to reduce the water cement ratio during the concrete production.
