4. End-bearing piles. Typical end-bearing piles aredriven through very soft soil, such as a loose silt-bearingstratum underlain by compressible strata. Rememberthis factor when determining the load the piles cansupport safely.5. Friction piles. When a pile is driven into soil offairly uniform consistency and the tip is not seated in ahard layer, the load-carrying capacity of the pile isdeveloped by skin friction. The load is transferred to theadjoining soil by friction between the pile and thesurrounding soil. The load is transferred downward andlaterally to the soil
