Simplex pile is useful for both soft and hard soils. To obtain simplex pile, a steel tube with cast iron shoe is driven into the ground up to desired depth. After that, reinforcement is provided in the tube and then filled it with concrete.

Frankie pile is suitable for granular type of soils and for soils bearing stratum of limited thickness is located at reasonable depth. This type of pile has mushroom shape bottom which acts like spread footing.

Vibro piles are suitable for soft soils which offers some amount of frictional resistance.
