The piles which are driven in the type of soil whose strength does not increase with depth or where the rate of increase in strength with depth is very slow, are known as
A)friction piles
B)bearing piles
C)batter piles
D)compaction piles

Question

Friction piles work primarily through the resistance offered by the soil along their sides. They are particularly effective in soils where the strength does not significantly increase with depth, as their load-bearing capacity relies on the surface friction between the pile and the surrounding soil, rather than solely on the end-bearing strength at the tip.
