Question

End bearing pile and friction pile difference and where can it be used

Answer 1

Answer:

End-bearing piles -

End-bearing piles develop most of their load-bearing capacity at the toe of the pile, bearing on a hard layer of rock or very dense soil and gravel. The pile transmits the load through soft, compressible strata directly onto firm strata. This type of pile therefore acts in the same way as a column.

Friction pile is a kind of pile foundation. This type of pile utilizes the frictional resistance force between the pile surface and adjacent soil to transfer the superstructure load. Depending on the subsoil strata condition, resistance force due to friction can develop in a definite pile length of on the full length.

Answer 2

Answer:

(1)End bearing piles : These piles are used to transfer the load through water or soft soil of ground to a suitable hard bearing stratum.

(2)Friction piles: These piles are used to transfer loads to a depth of a friction load carrying material by mean of a skin friction along the length of piles..
