Under-ream piles are commonly used in India especially as a solution for structures in black cotton soil regions. Objective and Applications of Under-Ream Pile Foundations: Under-reamed pile foundations are bored cast in-situ concrete piles with one or more bulbs or under-reams. The bulb is formed by enlarging the stem of the pile near the bottom […]

In this article we will discuss about the efficiency and settlement of pile group in soils. Efficiency of Pile Group: It may often be required to use more than one pile below a column, depending on the column load and the load capacity of a single pile. Usually, driven piles should be provided in groups […]
