INTRODUCTION
It is a foundation unit that provides support for a structure by
the toe resistance (end resistance) in a competent soil or rock
at some depth below the structure and/or by the shaft
resistance (skin resistance) in the soil or rock in which it is
placed

WHEN WE USE DEEP FOUNDATION
•Depth/Width >2
•Low Bearing Capacity of soil .
•Non availability of proper bearing stratum

at shallow depths.
•Heavy loads from the super structure for
which shallow foundation may not be
economical or feasible.
CLASSIFICATION OF DEEP FOUNDATIONS:
The types of deep

foundations are
 Pile
 Pier
 Caissons
PILE FOUNDATIONS
 A timber, steel or reinforced concrete

post usually vertical, used as a
structural element for transferring
the loads at the required depth in the
deep foundations is called PILE.
 These are the long members either
driven or cast-in-situ and may be
subjected to vertical or lateral or
vertical plus lateral loads.
Different steps of pile Execution
Lowering of reinforcement
Preparation of reinforcement
DIFFERENT STEPS OF PILE EXECUTION
Lowering of tremmy
Pouring of concrete
Different steps of pile Execution
Preparation of pile cap
Pile load test

USE OF PILES:
 Piles may be used for the following purposes,
1. End Bearing or compressive strength: To transfer the load
through a soft soil to a suitable bearing stratum by means
of end bearing of the piles.
2. Scour depth. To transfer the load through Water, for any
hydraulic structure because in this case, we have to keep
the foundation at the scour depth below the bed level. For
River Ravi Scour depth is 30 to 35m below the bed. So if
we go for the shallow foundation, we will have to make an
open pit, coffer dam diversion of River etc. and it is highly
uneconomical.
3. Tension or Uplift: For a very tall structure (tower), even if
the Soil is very good, but here the overturning is the
problem. So either make the base very large (Thick raft) or
make deep foundation.
USE OF PILES:
4) Vibration Control: if a machine is generating high
vibrations, then to absorb the vibrations either make a
massive block or the next choice is deep foundation,
But Massive black is very expensive. e.g. At Terbela the
shaft of Turbine is 2m and when it runs there area a lot
of vibrations.
5) Compaction Piles: In order to compact the granular soils
and to increase their bearing capacity, piles are used
(compaction Piles).
6) Anchor Piles: To provide Anchorage against horizontal
pull from sheet piling walls or other pulling forces.
7) Fender piles: To protect Water front structure against
impact from ships or other floating objects.
8) Batter piles: To resist large horizontal or inclined forces.
9) Rapid Construction: Piles can also be used if the time
schedule has much importance.
CLASSIFICATION OF PILES:
 With respect to:

1.Mode of construction
2.Material of construction
3.Material of load
4.Function of pile
CLASSIFICATION W.R.T MODE OF
CONSTRUCTION:
1. Pre-cast (Driven Piles )

2. Cast in-situ Piles (Bored Piles)
• Under sized Bore.(It is feasible because
of less noise , under sized hole is dug and
full size pile is driven, (By driving the
piles, the soil is displaced so type is
a) High volume displaced piles (vol. almost
equal to vol.of pile).
b) No volume displaced piles.
c) Low volume displaced piles.
CLASSIFICATION W.R.T MATERIAL OF
CONSTRUCTION:
1) Timber piles: (Trunk of a Wooden tree, the

oldest pile)
2) Concrete pile
3) Steel pile
4) Composite pile: (Certain portion by one
material and certain portion by other
material)
CLASSIFICATION W.R.T
MATERIAL OF LOAD:
Some times skin friction is predominant and

sometimes the End bearing so
1) Frictional Pile
If major part is taken by the shaft of pile. When
very Weak soils of large depths are available.
2) End Bearing Pile
When a soil layer of reasonable strength is
available at a reasonable depth.
CLASSIFICATION W.R.T FUNCTION OF
PILE:
1) Compression pile: (To resist the comp. load)

2) Tension pile or Anchor pile
3) Compaction pile: (granular soil i.e. very
loose sand can be compacted by driving the
piles at one place, then are pulled out and
driven at the next place, in this way sand is
densified).
4) Fender piles: (Used near sea-part to protect
the Harbour, just to absorb the impact of
floating objects)
5) Batter piles: (Provided at an inclination their
stability is more against overturning).
6) Sheet piles.(To reduce seepage or to
provide lateral stability).
