Source sentences:
text: It transfers the load to deeper, firmer strata.
text: These piles transfer their load on to a firm stratum located at a considerable depth below the base of the structure and they derive most of their carrying capacity from the penetration resistance of the soil at the toe of the pile (see figure 1).
text: In most cases, piles are used in pile foundations, where they transfer a load from the structure to the soil.
text: The pile transmits load directly to firm strata, and also receives lateral restraint from subsoil.
text: The pile transmits the load to surrounding soil by friction between the surface of the pile and soil, which in effect lowers the bulb of pressure.
text: The biggest advantage of piling, which makes it suitable for everything from underpinning to building bridges, is that the piles can go right through weaker soil, transferring the load to the more robust soil or bedrock below.
text: Those piles that transfer the load to or through an underlying stratum by means of friction is called the friction pile.
text: These piles also transfer their load to the ground through skin friction.
