What are the 2 different piles applications can end up in?

Piles can be categorized in two main types: load bearing piles and sheet piles. There are numerous types of load bearing piles.

What are pipe piles?

Pipe piles are a simple, easy to understand type of piling. A prebuilt steel pipe structure is driven into the ground, typically with large impact hammers. The piles remain in place primarily through friction with the soil.

What is open ended pile?

Both the driving response and static bearing capacity of open-ended piles are affected by the soil plug that forms inside the pile during pile driving. For the open-ended pile, the soil plug length was continuously measured during pile driving, allowing calculation of the incremental filling ratio for the pile.

How do you install steel pipe piles?

To install pipe pile, steel pipe is forced into the ground. This can be done one of two ways, either by driving the piles or drilling the piles. Steel pipe piles can be driven into the ground using a large impact hammer.

What is RC square pile?

Hume RC Piles are used in foundations to increase the bearing capacity and to reduce settlements at sites with weak compressible soil, which otherwise cannot be used for construction. This facilitates the economical design of foundations to suit varying soil conditions.

How do you install bored piles?

Installing a bored pile starts with drilling a vertical hole into the soil, using a bored piling machine. The machine can be outfitted with specially designed drilling tools, buckets, and grabs to remove the soil and rock. Piles can be drilled to a depth of up to 60 meters and a diameter of up to 2.4 meters.

What are steel pipe piles?

What are Steel Pipe Piles? Steel pipe piles are driven vertically into the ground and used as a deep foundation for large commercial and industrial buildings. Pipe pilings transfer the structural load of the foundation to the soil below.

How deep do piles need to be?

Piles were typically concrete, installed to a depth of 300 mm or more. Houses could be supported fully on piles, or have internal bearer support only provided by piles.

What is Jack pile underpinning?

Jack pile underpinning is done where the traditional underpinning is uneconomical because of the depth of suitable bearing capacity of subsoil. The main advantage of Jack Pile and defining is it is vibration-free and flexible because the pile depth can be adjusted to suitable subsoil conditions encountered.

Which pile is used against impact?

6. (6)Fender piles: These are used to protect water from structure against impact from ships or other floating objects.

How do you drill piles?

The drilling process may include driving a temporary steel cylinder, or sleeve, into the soil. This remains in place in the upper portion of the hole until the pile is poured. Once the hole is drilled, a structure of reinforcing steel rebar is built and lowered into the hole, then the hole is filled with concrete.
