Answer 1

Tension piles, also known as uplift piles or anchor piles, are a type of pilefoundation that is used to resist uplift forces that might otherwise cause it to be extracted from the ground. Uplift forces can develop as a result of hydrostatic pressure, seismic activity or overturning moments

Answer 2

The answer is tension piles.

Piles used to resist uplift forces are known as tension piles. These piles are also called anchor piles or uplift piles. They are pile foundations that are capable of resisting uplift forces due to overturning moments, seismic activity and hydrostatic pressure. These forces can cause the foundation to get extracted from the ground.
