Recommendations On Piling ◉

Execution should always be supervised by a geotechnical expert to ensure adherence to these guidelines:

: It distinguishes between different types of actions, such as foundation loads, negative skin friction, and lateral pressure . Specific verifications are required for cyclical, dynamic, and impact loading. Recommendations on Piling

: When piles are placed closely together (forming a group), the guide requires designers to account for reduced individual capacity and increased settlement due to mutual interaction. Critical Installation Standards Execution should always be supervised by a geotechnical

: Design is based on the partial safety factor approach, differentiating between Ultimate Limit State (ULS) —ensuring the pile doesn't fail—and Serviceability Limit State (SLS), which controls settlements and deformations. such as foundation loads
