Piling foundations can be classified based on function, materials installation process, etc. The following are the types of pile foundations used in construction: Based on Function or Use Sheet Piles Load Bearing Piles End bearing Piles Friction Piles Soil Compactor Piles

Construction of pile foundations occurs in many different ways, with a variety of benefits and applications. However, all piles are bored or driven into the ground one way or another. There are a four main types of pile foundation, each with its own method of construction: Driven piles Bored piles Driven and cast-in-situ piles Aggregate piles

There are several types of pile foundations that are used in construction, including: End-bearing piles Friction piles Compaction piles Anchor piles Sheet piles Auger cast piles Driven piles

For that reason, most commonly, pile foundations are of three main types based on structural behavior: End Bearing Piles, Friction Piles and combinations of the two.
