Hey this is John White in Seattle, Washington and if you Google my name, you might find that I’ve been around a while and I wanted to explain to you some things with regards to displacement piles and non-displacement piles. A non-displacement pile is an open-ended pipe or a sheet pile or an “H” beam pile, where when driving the pile, you don’t have to displace a lot of soil. A displacement pile is a closed ended pipe or a concrete pile or a wood pile which, when driven, has to displace a lot of soil. This is important when selecting pile driving equipment. Non-displacement Piles are usually driven with vibratory pile driver/extractors. Some people call them hammers, but they’re not hammers. They don’t hammer the pile. They vibrate the pile, so the proper name is vibratory pile driver extractor. If the pile is going to be a bearing pile, meaning that a load is going to be put on it, such as a building, or a bridge, then this pile will usually be finished off with an impact hammer to determine the bearing load. Impact hammers have a weight that drops on top of the pile. Love ya: John White PACO 1977-83 ICE 83-1990 Founded ACE 1990 Co-Founder/Inventor APE 1992-2012 CEO Antaeus 2016- present

Best summation on piles I’ve seen.
Well done.
I was a pile driver for 28 years and found this a simple yet accurate description of the application and installation .
Thanks mate. Glad you enjoyed it. :)
I can't find a contractor that will build a house with piles on a hill? Any advice?
Excellent video. Content, sound, directness, etc
Geotech.-Tunnel engineer from Türkiye. I watch this video occasionally to refresh my knowledge of pile design principles.
How good is that. Thanks very much for supporting the channel :) I've got 5 Turkish friends here in Australia.
Taking my architectural registration exams and these visual explanations are gold! ✌🏼
Thank you for sharing this it was really educational and I learned a lot.
Awesome stuff Gabby
Thanks Brian :)
Thanks gabby. Awesome stuff. Can you post the workshop? I missed it :/
Very well explained
Thanks Deepak
Excellent video! It would have been good to know what type you typically use and why.
Very good explanation
Thanks my friend ☺
Can you use for walls? Example: you want to build a 4m hight house.
frrom Romania, you are great!
thanks my friend
Awesome vid Gab. Can you do a vid on steel structures
Sure can mate :)

High capacity open bottom helical piles vs screw piles?
Fascinating!
Good knowledge . 👍
Thanks :)
Thank you so much
Good explanation
Thanks ☺
I’m definitely bored. My gf wishes I was more driven, but what can you do.
Tip bearing, skin friction, caissons, piles, battered for lateral load, all kinds of goodies in this subject......
nice one
Thanks :)
Love from indian civil engineer
Thanks my friend

I'm here after I've seen the building in Taiwan leaning on one side after after the earthquake.
