Pier Foundation vs Pile Foundation
Pier and pile foundations are two types of deep foundation that often get confused. See the list of their differences below:
Pier Foundation
- Supports and transfers superimposed large loads to a firm strata through its cylindrical columns.
- Is drilled using a drill machine.
- Transfers loads only through the bearing.
- Shallow depth.
- Is used only when the top strata consist of decomposed rock and stiff clays.
- Required only for small loading.
Pile Foundation
- Uses vertical, timber, steel, or concrete materials in transferring loads.
- Is driven through from overburden soils to load-bearing strata.
- Can transfer loads either through friction or both friction and bearing piles.
- Greater depth.
- Can be used even when the strata are not firm, and the loading is uneven, as long as it is at reachable depth.
- Required for greater loads (e.g. bridges or flyovers).
