Which piles are formed by driving a steel tube and shoe, filling with concrete, using upward
extracting and downward tamping blows alternatively?
-
A.
Duplex pile
-
B.
Franky pile
-
C.
Vibro pile
-
D.
Mac Arthur pile
Correct Answer:
C. Vibro pile
Explanation:
Vibro piles are constructed by driving a steel tube with a cast iron shoe into the ground. Once the desired depth is reached, the tube is filled with concrete. The tube is then extracted using a steam or air hammer that applies alternating upward pulling forces and downward tamping blows. This process compacts the concrete against the surrounding soil, increasing the pile's load-bearing capacity.
