Answer / friend

pile foundations are one of the types of deep foundations.
they are used in case soft/silty/clayey type of soils.
As in such case of soils going for normal foundations may
not be possible either from economical point of view or may
not be possible at all in case u want to construct near
seashore etc.,
these are the foundations which transfer load to greater
depths, where there is strong strata / load reaching that
point is minimal.
these are pipe shaped, we have different types of pile
foundations.

what is pile foundation?..

Answer / alok

Pile foundation is a type of deep foundation which is used
to transfer the load of superstructure by means of surface
friction or end bearing or both. These are used to prevent
vertical settlement as well as to restrict the lateral
forces such as wind and earthquake forces.
These are generally used where soil is not having good
bearing capacity at lower depths or is not at all present at
lower depths as in the case of houses constructed over
submerged area.
