ABSTRACT
For the transfer of high loads into the subsoil as well as for spread foundations on subsoil with insufficient stiffness, deep foundations are designed. These deep foundations include the following types:
• Pile foundations • Barrette foundations • Combined pile-raft foundations (CPRF) * • Well foundations * • Caisson foundations *
This chapter only deals with the classic deep foundation constructed out of piles and barrettes. The deep foundation systems marked with an asterisk (*) are special forms that are discussed in other chapters. Barrettes are single diaphragm wall lamellas and can be used analog as deep foundation elements [1].
