Asymmetrical piles
The asymmetrical pile is a structural foundation element designed with a non-uniform distribution of reinforcement, adapted to the actual stresses of the ground and the structure. This configuration optimises the use of corrugated steel and improves the pile’s performance under vertical and horizontal loads and bending moments.
Main characteristics
- Designed based on the analysis of differential soil stresses and the forces transmitted by the structure.
- Reinforcement distribution adjusted to the areas of greatest stress, optimising steel consumption.
- Compatible with prefabricated reinforcement or reinforcement manufactured in a workshop under industrial quality control.
- Allows for more precise and efficient execution, especially in piles subjected to off-centre or combined stresses.
- Manufactured in accordance with current deep foundation regulations.
- Adaptable to different geometries and diameters, integrating into customised construction solutions.
Advantages
- Structural optimisation: greater efficiency in the use of steel and better use of the material’s capabilities.
- Cost reduction: savings in materials and assembly times thanks to a design tailored to actual needs.
- Reduction of CO₂ emissions: by using less steel in each pile, the project’s carbon footprint is significantly reduced.
- Advanced technical solution: suitable for projects with complex load conditions or heterogeneous terrain.
