1. Classification of Pile Based on Function or
action.
The following classification is based on function or action.
Uses of Piles.
Piles are used to:
Then checking the proposed design for safety, and revising it,
if necessary, until it is found to be satisfactory.
1. Length of Piles.
The selection of the length of the pile is made from a study of
the soil profile, and the strength and compressibility of the
soilstrata.
End bearing piles must reach a stratum that is capable of
supporting the entire foundation load without failure or
excessive settlement.
Friction piles must be long enough to distribute the stresses
through the soil mass so as to minimize the settlement and
obtain adequate safety.
2. Type and Material of Piles.
The following points should be considered before selecting
the type and material of piles:
4. Pile Spacing.
The piles are placed so that the capacity of the piles acting as
a unit is equal to the sum of the capacities of individual piles.
A tolerance of shift at the top of 5 cm to 15 cm and out of
plumb of 1 to 2% of the length may be permitted in the
planned position of piles.
