Classification of Piles Based on Transmission and Functional Nature
Piles can be classified into different types based on their transmission and functional nature. These classifications include:
- Friction Piles (Cohesion Piles): Friction piles derive their load-bearing capacity primarily from the frictional resistance between the pile and the surrounding soil. They transfer the load to a firm stratum located at a significant depth below the structure. The piles behave as a normal section and need to be designed accordingly. Even in weak soil, the piles do not fail due to buckling, unless a part of the pile is unsupported. The load is transmitted to the soil through friction or cohesion. However, in some cases, the soil surrounding the pile may adhere to its surface, causing “Negative Skin Friction” which can significantly affect the pile’s capacity. The depth of the pile foundation is determined by site investigation and soil testing results.
- End Bearing Piles (Point Bearing Piles): End bearing piles transfer their load to a firm stratum through the penetration resistance of the soil at the toe of the pile. These piles behave as a column and should be designed accordingly. They rely on the load-bearing capacity of the stratum beneath the base of the structure. Load is transmitted to the soil through friction or cohesion, depending on the specific conditions. In some cases, the soil may adhere to the pile surface, causing negative skin friction. The depth of the pile foundation is influenced by site investigation and soil testing.
- Combination of Friction and Cohesion Piles: This type of pile is an extension of end bearing piles when the bearing stratum is not firm, such as in soft soil. The pile is driven deep enough into the lower material to generate sufficient frictional resistance. Another variation is piles with increased bearing areas, achieved by injecting concrete into the soft stratum above the firm layer to create an expanded base. A similar effect can be achieved with bored piles by forming a large cone or bell at the base using a reaming tool. These bored piles with a bell have high rigidity and can be used as tension piles.
- Combination of Friction Piles and Cohesion Piles: This category includes piles that transfer load through both friction and cohesion. The process of driving these piles does not significantly compress the soil. They are commonly referred to as pile foundations.
By understanding the different types of piles based on their transmission and functional nature, engineers can select the most appropriate pile foundation for a given project, considering the soil conditions, load requirements, and structural design. Proper design and installation are crucial to ensure the effectiveness and performance of the chosen pile type.

The use of pipe piles in foundation construction has been a popular choice for many years. Pipe piles are used to transfer the load of a structure to a deeper, more stable layer of soil or rock.
Benefits of Pipe Trusses The use of pipe trusses in construction offers several notable advantages: Strength and Load-bearing Capacity: Pipe trusses are renowned for their high strength-to-weight ratio. The interconnected pipes distribute loads evenly, resulting in a sturdy and reliable structure. This allows for the construction of large spans without the need for excessive support columns or beams.
The standard for fluid-conveying seamless pipes depends on the country or region you are in, as well as the specific application. However, some widely used international standards for fluid-conveying seamless pipes are: ASTM A106: This is a standard specification for seamless carbon steel pipes for high-temperature service in the United States. It is commonly used in power plants, refineries, and other industrial applications where high temperatures and pressures are present. It covers pipes in grades A, B, and C, with varying mechanical properties depending on the grade. API 5L: This is a standard specification for line pipes used in the oil and gas industry. It covers seamless and welded steel pipes for pipeline transportation systems, including pipes for conveying gas, water, and oil. API 5L pipes are available in various grades, such as X42, X52, X60, and X65, depending on the material properties and application requirements. ASTM A53: This is a standard specification for seamless and welded black and hot-dipped galvanized steel pipes used in various industries, including fluid-conveying applications. It covers pipes in two grades, A and B, with different mechanical properties and intended uses. DIN 2448 / EN 10216: These are European standards for seamless steel pipes used in fluid-conveying applications, including water, gas, and other fluids. Read more
Fluid-conveying seamless pipes are designed to resist various types of corrosion depending on the material used and the specific application. Some of the most common types of corrosion that these pipes are designed to resist include: Uniform corrosion: This is the most common type of corrosion, where the entire surface of the pipe corrodes uniformly. To resist this type of corrosion, pipes are often made of corrosion-resistant materials, such as stainless steel or lined with protective coatings. Galvanic corrosion: This occurs when two dissimilar metals are in contact with each other in the presence of an electrolyte, leading to the corrosion of the more active metal. To prevent galvanic corrosion, pipes can be made of similar metals, or they can be isolated from each other using insulating materials or coatings. Pitting corrosion: Pitting is a localized form of corrosion that occurs when small areas on the pipe's surface become more susceptible to attack, leading to the formation of small pits. This type of corrosion can be prevented by using materials with high pitting resistance, such as stainless steel alloys with added molybdenum, or by applying protective coatings. Crevice corrosion: Crevice corrosion occurs in narrow spaces or gaps between two surfaces, such Read more
