 ABSTRACT
Pile foundations consist of piles that are dug into soil till a
layer of stable soil is reached. Pile foundations
transfer building load to the bearing ground with the greater
bearing capacity. Pile foundations are useful in regions with
unstable upper soil that may erode, or for large structures. Pile
foundations are often required to resist lateral loading. Lateral
loads come from a varietyof sources including wind, earthquakes,
waves, and ship impacts.

The lateral capacity of a pile isusually much smaller than the

axial capacity and as a result groups of piles are often installed
toincrease the lateral capacity of the entire foundation system.
When vertical or plumb pile groups donot provide sufficient lateral
resistance the piles can be battered in order to mobilize some of
thehigher axial capacity to resist the lateral load.

Piles are relatively long, slender members that transmit

foundation loads through soil strata of low bearing capacity to
deeper soil or rock strata having a high bearing capacity. They are
used when for economic, constructional or soil condition
considerations it is desirable to transmit loads to strata beyond
the practical reach of shallow foundations. In addition to
supporting structures, piles are also used to anchor structures
against uplift forces and to assist structures in resisting lateral
and overturning forces.
