Driven Piles: Pile Type and Selection

Driven piles are a total engineering solution. The design, installation and quality assurance that are a part of each driven pile combine to eliminate guesswork and produce a known, reliable and cost effective product that can accommodate a wide variety of subsurface conditions. This 2-hour interactive online course covers the many different types of piles available and explains the appropriate conditions for each type of pile.  There is also a section covering the different types of degradation and how each pile substance might respond to these difficult environmental circumstances.  The information is provided to help designers choose the best pile type for any given project.  This course is based on guidance provided by the Federal Highway Administration.
