DEEP FOUNDATINS
 Deep Foundation is that type of foundation in which the loads
are taken to a lower level by means of vertical members which
may be timber, concrete or steel.

 This foundation may be adopted when no firm bearing strata is

available and the loading is uneven.

 Deep foundation may be of following types:

 Pile foundation
 Pier
 Well or caissons

Pile Foundations
A pile is basically a long cylinder of a strong material like concrete that
is pushed into the ground to act as a steady support for structures built
on top of it.

Pier Foundation
 A Pier foundation consist of
 cylindrical column of large diameter to support and
transfer large superimposed load to the firm strata
below.

 Generally, pier foundation is shallow in depth than the

pile foundation.

Well Foundation
 Well Foundation or Caisson are box like structures
which are sunk from the surface of either land or
water to the desired depth. They are much larger
than the pier foundation or drilled caissons. Caisson
foundations are used for major foundation works like
 • Bridge piers
 • Docks
 • Large water front structure such as pump house
