1. Concrete piles:
a)pre-cast
b)cast-in-situ
i) driven piles
ii)bored piles
2. Timber piles
3. Steel piles
a) H-pile
b) Pipe pile
c) Sheet pile
4. Composite piles:
a) Concrete and timber
b) Concrete and steel
1) Timber piles:
2) Concrete piles:
They can be cast to any shape,size and length.
3) Composite piles:
Composite piles are those which are made of two portions of two
different materials driven one above the other.
Two common types of composite piles in use are:
a) timber and concrete
b) steel and concrete.
4) Steel pile:
this type of composite pile is used where the required length of pile is
greater than that available for the cast in situ type.
Q3. Write note on concrete piles and
its types.
Concrete piles:
A pile constructed of reinforced concrete either pre cast or
driven into the ground or cast in place in a hole boared into
the ground.
D) Sewage piles:
Sewage piles are used with advantages in soils where the
driving is very hard, or where it is designed to leave water
tight shell for some time before filling the concrete.
Q4 Write note on cast in situ driven concrete piles.
Bored piles-
Bored piles are those which are formed by forming a bore
hole in the ground & then concreting it, either with the
help of a casing tube or without a casing tube
their procedure of construction is thus different then
that of cast in site driven piles where a heavy pile driving
equipment is required.
this piles have advantage over the driven piles, in those
locations & those situations where the vibration & noise is
so deep that they are different to reach by driven piles.
