What is the different between Displacement piles and Non displacement pile?
Displacement piles are driven into the ground by displacing the soil, which can lead to increased soil density around the pile and typically results in higher load-bearing capacity. In contrast, non-displacement piles, such as bored or drilled piles, involve removing soil to create a hole and then filling it with concrete, which may not enhance surrounding soil density. Consequently, displacement piles are often preferred in situations where soil compaction is beneficial, while non-displacement piles are used in areas where soil disturbance needs to be minimized. Each type is chosen based on site conditions and structural requirements.
