Shallow foundations are typically less expensive than deep foundations. Therefore, it is economically prudent in most cases to start by investigating whether a shallow foundation can be used. The design of a deep foundation consists of selecting the type of piles and calculating the length, size, and number of piles necessary to carry the load safely and within a tolerable settlement. Bored piles are also known as drilled shafts or drilled piers. Bored piles are installed by drilling a hole in the ground, removing the drilling tool, inserting the reinforcement cage, and filling the hole with concrete. Piles are often installed in groups to carry higher loads under columns of buildings, bridges, dams, and other structures. Downdrag refers to the special case where the soil around the upper part of the pile moves downward more than the pile.
