Is a pier a pile foundation?
pile is the steel layer and pier is the outer most layer'
How many methods can enable construction of pile foundations and how?
You can use hammer, press or vibrationdrivers. The most common are hammer and vibrationdrivers, which pound on or vibrate the pile to sink it into the ground. Where noise or vibration would be a no-no, pressdrivers can be employed.Hammer drivers can be operated mechanically, hydraulically or pneumatically. In all types of hammer driver, the ram is raised in a slide and allowed to drop on the head of the pile. Repeat until the pile is at the required depth. Make sure you are wearing your ear protectors if you're nearby. Hammer driving can also have a detrimental effect on nearby buildings, as the seismic waves generated are powerful. Typically the ground around the driver will jump a few inches with each blow.(There is a method in which the ram is constructed to form a single cylinder diesel engine but I'm unfamiliar with this technique. Most of the pile drivers I've seen were hydraulically raised hammer or mechanical vibration types.)Vibration drivers operate on a different principle. Usually there is a hydraulic arm and a motor driving an eccentric cam or a shaft which is weighted to put it out of balance; the vibration causes the earth to assume liquid-like properties and the pile slowly glides in under the pressure of the pile driver arm. This is nowhere near as noisy as hammer driving. Unfortunately the powerful seismic vibration can have a bad effect on nearby buildings and can be quite unpleasant for nearby humans.Press drivers use (usually) hydraulic brute force to push the pile in; doing it like this requires Big Science but has the advantage of being relatively quiet and kind to nearby foundations and people.For driving smaller pilings or for shoring trenches, the bucket of a digger can be used to good effect. Just raise it up and bring it down hard.

What is the minimum required thickness for pile cap?

What is micro pile?
A micro pile is a pile with a small diameter (Approx. 100-400mm) and therefore cannot be installed to as great a depth as larger diameter piles.

What does one need to do to be allowed to control pile drivers?
A pile driver needs to have their ITA Certificate of Qualifications or a Certificate of Apprenticeship in Pile Drivers. The role of a pile driver is to construct, remove, installl, or repair deep pile and foundations for such things as bridges, docks and tunnels.
What is cut-off level in pile foundation?
Piles are used in foundations to give a better base for structures. The appropriate pile cut-off level is commonly around 75mm above the underneath of the pile cap.

How can you improve black cottan soil?
we can use cement grouting,to mix sand and lime stones and also use pile or raft foundations
What is the difference between a pile foundation and an ordinary foundation?
Pile foundations are typically much deeper than they are wide. This means that their ability to resist loads is mainly derived from the vertical friction of the side of the pile against the soil (skin friction). However it should be noted that a number of closely spaced piles will act as a group and as such can also have significant resistance to loads by end bearing. Regular foundations rely on the bearing pressure between the soil and the underside of the foundation, they are cheaper and more common. Piles will be used when greater forces are needed to be transferred to the ground over a smaller area, such as with high rise buildings and those in densely built up areas where land comes at a premium and ground movements will affect neighbouring buildings. A pile can be thought of as analagous to a tent peg whereas an ordinary foundation is like a flagstone.

What is a Persian rug made from?
Persian rugs were generally made with wool pile on cotton foundations but they also used: silk, cotton and sometimes they used a mix of two or three of the materials I had mentioned. I included a link for more information about how rugs are made.
