When it becomes impossible to provide the suitable surface foundation for a structure ; the use of pile foundations becomes necessary, this situation arose from either the soil condition or the order of bottom layers , the nature of the loads transferred to the soil or the nature of the site and operational conditions. The main components of the foundation are the pile cap and the piles .piles are long and slender members which transfer the load to deeper soil or rock of high bearing capacity avoiding shallow soil of low bearing capacity. The main types of materials used for piles are wood, steel and concrete .Piles made from these materials are driven , drilled or jacked into the ground and connected to pile caps. Depending upon type of soil ,pile materials and load transmitting characteristic piles are classified accordingly. Pile foundations have been used as load carrying and load transferring systems for many years. In the early days Timber Piles were driven in to the ground by hand or holes were dug and filled with sand and stones. Steel piles have been used since 1800 and concrete piles since about 1900. The industrial revolution brought about important changes to pile driving system through the invention of steam and diesel driven machines. More recently the growing need for housing and construction has forced authorities and development agencies to exploit lands with poor soil characteristics. This has led to the development and improved piles and pile driving systems. Today there are many advanced techniques of pile installation. This project is actually a highway expressway project from Jammu To Srinagar under the authority of NHAI (National Highways Authority Of India). This project is being constructed by Ramky Infrastructure Ltd on the basis of B.O.T(Built Operate Transfer). The expressway reduces the distance between Jammu and Srinagar by 75 km's. The expressway consists of a number of culverts , minor bridges ,Tunnels and a major bridge at Gallender-Kandizal(Pampore).
