Pile Foundation: Part 2: Classification of Pile Foundation

Part II of Pile foundation video series
Piles may be classified as follows based on the function or action:
End-bearing piles
Used to transfer load through the pile tip to a suitable bearing stratum, passing soft soil or
water.
Friction piles
Used to transfer loads to a depth in a frictional material by means of skin friction along the
surface area of the pile.
Tension or uplift piles
Used to anchor structures subjected to uplift due to hydrostatic pressure or to overturning
moment due to horizontal forces.
Compaction piles
Used to compact loose granular soils in order to increase the bearing capacity. Since they are
not required to carry any load, the material may not be required to be strong; in fact, sand may
be used to form the pile. The pile tube, driven to compact the soil, is gradually taken out and
sand is filled in its place thus forming a ‘sand pile’.
Anchor piles
Used to provide anchorage against horizontal pull from sheetpiling or water.
Fender piles
Used to protect water-front structures against impact from ships or other floating objects.
Sheet piles
Commonly used as bulkheads, or cut-offs to reduce seepage and uplift in hydraulic structures.
Batter piles
Used to resist horizontal and inclined forces, especially in water front structures.
Laterally-loaded piles
Used to support retaining walls, bridges, dams, and wharves and as fenders for harbour construction.
