| Deep Foundations |  |
| According to the construction method and production materials used during construction,
piles can be classified as;
• Cast-in-place concrete piles (Bored piles) • Vibrex piles • Precast piles According to their function and bearing capacities, piles can be classified as; • Friction piles • End-bearing piles • Friction + end-bearing piles Bored Piles In the case of being weak soil layers with low bearing capacities over stronger soil layers, superstructure loads are transferred to a suitable bearing stratum by deep foundation systems. Piles used in foundations have a considerable variety of sizes, shapes and materials to ovecome special difficulties in foundation and substructure construction. Although there are many methods used in pile foundation constructions, the main consideration should be performing safe, fast and economical applications with highly improved machine and equipment. |  |
