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).
