Question

Name the pile type best suited for resisting horizontal and inclined loads in the soil.

A.

Anchor pile

B.

Under-reamed pile

C.

Batter pile

D.

Friction pile

Correct option is C


The pile type best suited for resisting horizontal and inclined loads in the soil is the batter pile. Batter piles are installed at an angle to the vertical, which allows them to resist horizontal and inclined loads more effectively than vertical piles. They provide stability against forces acting at an angle and are commonly used in situations where lateral support is needed.
Anchor pile: Used to provide resistance against tension or uplift loads, often in combination with other piles.
Under-reamed pile: Used to increase the bearing capacity of piles in weak soil, typically by creating an enlarged base.
Friction pile: Transfers load to the soil through friction along its length and is primarily used for vertical loads.
Therefore, the correct answer is (c) Batter pile.
