    Pile Foundation, A Kind of Deep Foundation, Is Actually A

    Uploaded by

    Pile foundations are deep foundations used to transfer structural loads to deeper, stronger soil layers by using long, slender piles made of materials like concrete or steel. They are used when shallow foundations are unsuitable due to high groundwater, uneven or weak surface soils, or the need for deep excavations. Piles can be classified based on their function as end bearing piles which transfer loads through their tips, friction piles which transfer loads through side friction along their shafts, or a combination of both. Common pile types include steel, timber, and reinforced concrete piles.

    What is Pile Foundation?

    Pile foundation, a kind of deep foundation, is actually a


    slender column or long cylinder made of materials such
    as concrete or steel which are used to support the
    structure and transfer the load at desired depth either by
    end bearing or skin friction. Pile foundations are deep
    foundations. They are formed by long, slender, columnar
    elements typically made from steel or reinforced
    concrete, or sometimes timber. A foundation is described
    as 'piled' when its depth is more than three times its
    breadth.

    When to Use Pile Foundation


    Following are the situations when using a pile foundation system can be
    •When the groundwater table is high.
    •Heavy and un-uniform loads from superstructure are imposed.
    •Other types of foundation are costlier or not feasible.
    •When the soil at shallow depth is compressible.
    •When there is the possibility of scouring, due to its location near the river bed or seashore, etc.
    •When there is a canal or deep drainage systems near the structure.
    •When soil excavation is not possible up to the desired depth due to poor soil condition.
    •When it becomes impossible to keep the foundation trenches dry by pumping or by any other measure due to
    heavy inflow of seepage.

    Sheet piles

    Sheet piles are sections of sheet materials with


    interlocking edges that are driven into
    the ground to
    provide earth retention and excavation 
    support. Sheet piles are most commonly made
    of steel, but can also be formed
    of timber or reinforced concrete Sheet
    piles are commonly used for retaining
    walls, land reclamation, underground
    Steel piles
    structures such as car parks and basements, in
    marine location for riverbank protection, sea
    wells, cofferdams, and so on . The selection
    of sheet piling is dependent on factors, such as:
    The type of work, for example. whether it is
    permanent or temporary.
    site conditions.
    •The required depth of piles.
    •The bending moments involved
    •The nature of the structure.
    •The type of protection required
