End bearing pile | Friction pile |
---|---|
1) When piles transfer load of the building through a soft soil strata to a suitable bearing stratum at greater depths then it is called a bearing pile | 1) When piles transfer the loads only by means of skin resistance without any end bearing then the piles are called as friction piles. |
2) The load is taken by the hard strata. | 2) Load is taken by the friction developed between side of the pile and surrounding ground |
3)Hard strata is essentially required | 3)Hard strata is not essentially required |
4)It is used to transfer load through water or soft soil | 4)It is used to transfer loads through a depth of friction |
