Summary
A
Friction Pile
is a
Type of foundation
that transfers
Building loads
to the ground primarily through
Skin Friction
, rather than solely relying on
End Bearing
. These piles are particularly effective in
Loose soils
where
Driving them deeper
allows the
Surface Friction
over the
Pile's entire length
to
Support the structure's weight
.
