In this article we will discuss about the efficiency and settlement of pile group in soils. Efficiency of Pile Group: It may often be required to use more than one pile below a column, depending on the column load and the load capacity of a single pile. Usually, driven piles should be provided in groups and a single pile should [...]
The following article will guide you to learn about how to estimate the load capacity of piles with the help of static and dynamic formulae’s. Static Formulae for Estimating the Load Capacity of Piles: Static formulae give the static resistance offered by the soil/rock at the base and along the surface of the pile to the loads applied on the [...]
The classification of piles based on different criteria are as follows: 1. Classification Based on Shape of Cross Section 2. Classification Based on Shape of Longitudinal Section 3. Classification Based on Material of Construction 4. Classification Based on Formation 5. Classification Based on Method of Installation 6. Classification Based on Function and a Few Others. 1. Classification Based on Shape [...]
