MUMBAI, India, May 1 -- Intellectual Property India has published a patent application (202611024509 A) filed by Chandigarh University, Mohali, Punjab, on March 2, for 'inclined support system embedded in earth for enhanced pillar foundation stability.'
Inventor(s) include Dr. Gurpreet Singh; and Dr. Gyanendra Singh.
The application for the patent was published on May 1, under issue no. 18/2026.
According to the abstract released by the Intellectual Property India: "The present invention relates to an improved pillar foundation system designed to enhance load distribution and resistance to lateral and multidirectional forces. The system comprises a central vertical pillar anchored to a footing base and a plurality of inclined supports embedded in surrounding soil at angles between 30 and 60 from vertical. The inclined supports are arranged radially around the pillar and are structurally connected to the footing base to form triangulated load paths. This configuration improves moment resistance, rotational stiffness, and overall foundation stability while reducing the need for deep excavation and excessive material usage. The inclined supports distribute both vertical and horizontal loads across a wider soil volume, making the system suitable for loose soils, sloped terrain, and seismic or high-wind regions. The present invention provides a cost-effective, modular, and adaptable foundation solution for various structural applications."
