1.1 This European Standard establishes general principles for the execution of bored piles (see 3.2). NOTE 1 This standard covers piles or barrettes which are formed in the ground by excavation and are structural members used to transfer actions and/or limit deformations. NOTE 2 This standard covers piles with circular cross-section (see Figures 1 and A.1a)) and barrettes (see 3.3) with rectangular, T or L or any other similar cross-section (see Figure 2) concreted in a single operation. NOTE 3 In the standard the term pile is used for circular cross-section structure and the term barrette for other shapes. Both are bored piles. 1.2 This European Standard applies to bored piles (see Figure 3) with: - uniform cross-section (straight shaft); - telescopically changing shaft dimensions; - excavated base enlargements; or - excavated shaft enlargements. NOTE The shape of a pile base and of an enlargement depends on the tool used for the excavation. 1.3 This European Standard applies (see Note) to: - bored piles with a depth to width ratio >= 5; - piles (see Figures 1 and 3) with a shaft diameter 0,3 m = 4 (µ' >= 76°); - n >= 3 (µ' >= 72°) for permanently cased piles.
