Prestressed concrete piles have
been extensively employed in at
least 21 countries, including both
highly developed and less developed
countries, and in a variety of envir-
onments including sub-arctic, trop-
ical and desert.
In Japan alone, there are 45 fac-
tories producing 1,000,000 tons of
foundation piles annually, while in
the USA more than 2,000,000 m (6,-

NOTE: Hollow cores may be employed with most shapes. Varying cross-
sections may be employed along the length of the pile, such as en-
larged tips for bearing, enlarged upper sections for moment, or a
change to a circular upper section in order to eliminate corners, etc.
These changed sections may either be cast monolithically or spliced
