-
A.
Anchor pile
-
B.
Under-reamed pile
-
C.
Batter pile
-
D.
Friction pile
Correct Answer:
C. Batter pile
Explanation:
Batter piles, also known as raked piles, are specifically designed to be installed at an angle to the vertical. This inclination allows them to effectively resist large lateral, horizontal, and inclined forces by resolving these loads into axial components of tension and compression along the pile's length. While vertical piles are primarily used for vertical loads, batter piles provide significantly higher stability and resistance against horizontal displacement caused by wind, waves, or soil pressure.
