Tapered piles, which have greater top cross sections than bottom ones, have the potential for substantial costadvantages for static loading conditions. However, tapered piles have not often been considered a design option becauseof the lack of design tools and knowledge about the behaviour of these piles. The objectives of this study are to exploreand better understand the operating characteristics of the axial response of tapered piles. Tapered piles represent a moreequitable distribution of the pile material in several respects. In order to study their efficiency over piles of uniformsection with the same material input, a three-dimensional finite element analysis is developed. This paper presents areview of the current practice and usage of the numerous types of pile in general construction. Information on thissubject was obtained from a review of existing literature and from field experience. The paper reviews the purpose of pilefoundations and the various factors involved in the selection of a type of pile.
