It does not meant that pile foundation is only applicable for soft soils alone. For other type of soils it will not be much economical.

What is the advantages and disadvantages of end bearing piles in construction?

advantages:1.Even in weak soil a pile will not fail by buckling and this effect need only be considered if part of the pile is unsupported, i.e. if it is in either air or water. 2.Bearing piles transfer the load through a soft soil to an underlying firm stratum.They also distribute the load through relatively soft soils that are not capable of supportingconcentrated loads.3.Typical end-bearing piles are driven through very soft soil, such as a loose silt-bearing stratumunderlain by compressible strata. This factor when determining the load the piles can support safely.disadvantages:the soil surrounding the pile may adhere to the surface of the pile and causes "Negative Skin Friction" on the pile.the pile is unsupported if is in air or water

What is under ream pile?

Underreamed piles have mechanically formed enlarged bases that have been as much as 6 m in diameter. The form is that of an inverted cone and can only be formed in stable soils. The larger base diameter allows greater bearing capacity than a straight-shaft pile. These pile are suited for expansive soils which are often subjected to seasonal moisture variations, as also filled up ground and loose or soft strata. They are used in normal ground condition also where economics are favorable.
