Content: As regards construction and acceptance, the institutional standard is needed to give contractors a basis for preparing detailed method statements, controlling quality on site, and carrying out acceptance and payment.
The Y-section pile is a special case of the barrette pile; it has already been used on several projects in Vietnam and has shown many advantages in load-bearing capacity and material savings.
