Batter piles:
Piles are driven at an inclination to resist large horizontal and
inclined forces.
Fender piles:
Piles are used to protect concrete deck or other water front
structures from the abrasion or impact caused from the ships or
barges.
Compaction piles:
When piles are driven in granular soil with the aim of increasing the
bearing capacity of the soil, the piles are termed as compaction piles.

TYPES OF PILES BASED ON
MATERIALS
Timber Piles:
Transmission of load takes place by the frictional
resistance of ground and the pile surface.
Advantages of Timber Piles:
Economical where timber is easily available.
Can be driven rapidly & as such saves time.
Disadvantages of Timber Piles:
Liable to decay or deteriorate by salt water/insects.
Low bearing capacity.

TYPES OF CONCRETE PILES
Concrete Piles are of 3 types:
Pre-cast Piles
Cast in situ Piles
Prestressed Concrete Piles
TYPES OF CONCRETE PILES
CONCRETE PILES
Advantages of Pre-cast Piles:
Very effective
Simple quality control
Improves the entire area
Pipe-piles
Screw piles
Disc piles
STEEL PILES
CAUSES OF FAILURE OF
PILES
Unequal settlement of the sub-soil.
Unequal settlement of masonry.
Horizontal movement of the soil adjoining the
structure.
Shrinkage due to withdrawal of moisture from
the soil below the foundation.
Lateral pressure tending to over-turn the
structure.
Action of atmosphere.
Lateral escape of the soil below the foundation.
COFFERDAMS
Cofferdams may be defined as a temporary structure
constructed in a river or a lake or any other water bearing
surface for excluding water form a given site to enable the
building operation to be performed on dry surface.
Pneumatic Caisson
TYPES OF CAISSONS
Open caisson with dredging wells
This type of caisson has the distinction of being employed for the deepest
foundation for, bridge piers, abutments and other similar structures..
TYPES OF CAISSONS
TYPES OF CAISSONS
Box caisson
It is closed at bottom.
The caisson is cast and cured on land and when required.
It is launched in water and towed to the site for sinking.
TYPES OF CAISSONS
TYPES OF CAISSONS
Pneumatic caisson
This type of caisson is closed at top and open (during construction) at the
bottom.
The water is excluded from the caisson chamber by means of compressed
air.
