Friction piles are subterrene pilling systems that build a robust base for large, heavy structures such as bridges. Piling works by carrying a foundation’s weight from the loosened topsoil to the firmer soil or rock below. The two main types of foundation pilings are end bearing piles and friction piles.
- End bearing piles: In the case of end-bearing piles, the end of the pile rests on an underground layer of rock or firm soil. The end of the pile compresses it against this dense layer to make sure the structure doesn’t shift. And, the weight of the aboveground structure or building is transferred from the weak topsoil (which could not support its weight) through the pile and onto the more robust layer below.
- Friction piles: Friction piles work more like a firm structure in the soil. These piles are also called floating piles, and they are best used on the occasion where the hard under layers of soil are too deep to reach efficiently. These earn most of their holding capacity by shear blades along the sides of the pile.
Friction piles are made of long, fine narrow elements, much like columns. Though these can also be made of timber, they are typically developed from steel or reinforced concrete. The piling extends at least three times the structure’s width below a structure at depth.
Browning Enterprise online marketplace hosts a wide variety of friction pile materials, including H pile beams, steel pipe, wide flange beams, and much more. All of our listings are being constantly updated, and we also can create a wanted listing for free for you.
