Specifies general principles for the execution of displacement piles. It defines piles which are installed in the ground without excavation or removal of material from the ground except for limiting heave, vibration, removal of obstructions or to assist penetration. Impact, vibration, pressing, screwing or a combination of these methods are used to drive the piles into the ground. This Standard covers the following materials of displacement piles, which can be: a) steel b) cast iron c) concrete, mortar d) timber e) grout f) combination of above.
