Anchoring is a type of deep pile foundation, which is necessary when the land hasn’t got the right load-bearing capacity or when the terrain is uneven. Such foundations transfer the building’s load to the deeper layers of ground, which are more compact and have a better load bearing capacity. Due to their simple structure and quick installation, they’re becoming increasingly common with buildings of all types and sizes. Piles can be made of timber, steel, concrete, and a combination of these materials, and when it comes to the construction method, they can be either driven or cast-in-place. Depending on load distribution, there are standing piles (where every pile is a load point) and suspended piles (connected with an overhead beam). The method applied depends on the designed depth, load characteristics, load-bearing capacity, building’s size and weight, expected lifespan, cost-effectiveness, and available technology.
