∙ 9y ago
1. Wastage of material is less as only the required length is cast
2. No case of stresses due to handling and driving and hence no extra reinforcement for these
3. Transportation is avoided
4. Time for curing is saved
5. No fear of breaking of piles and those are not blown by hammers
6. They can be designed for heavy loads by providing bulbs or pedestals
