Provided is a drilling apparatus, comprising a PHC pipe cased pile having a drilling section for containing fluid and a hammer element arranged inside the cavity of the PHC pipe cased pile which moves along the drilling direction till the bottom of the drilling section. As the hammer element moves along the drilling direction till the bottom of the drilling section, a localized hydraulic force will be induced in the fluid contained in the drilling section of the PHC pipe cased pile by a sharp rise in the fluid pressure in addition to the impact force directly acted on the rock and soil by the hammer element. Under action of the hydraulic force and the impact force, the surrounding soft rock stratum could be crushed and the rock stratum with higher strength is left intact, that is, the drilling apparatus proceeds until harder rock. At this point, concrete casting will bond with the harder rock, resulting in a better bearing capacity of the PHC pipe cased pile foundation.

Provided are a pile press-in device and a pile press-in method that allow an efficient construction even when electrically powered devices and hydraulic devices coexist in order to give drive members a driving force. A pile press-in device (1) comprises a chuck (5) for gripping and rotating a pile (4) in order to press the pile (4) into a ground while rotating the pile (4). The pile press-in device (1) causes electric motors (6) corresponding to the electrically powered device of the invention to give the chuck (5) a driving force for the rotation. The chuck (5) is moved up and down by lift cylinders (7) which are hydraulically powered hydraulic devices. An integrated control board (50) controls the electric motors (6) and the lift cylinders (7) in an interlocked manner.

The invention is directed to a foundation pile (1) comprising a tubular housing (2) having an upper end (3) and an open lower end (4) and wherein at the upper end or near or at the open lower end (4) vibration means are present and wherein at the open lower end means (6) to discharge a fluid into the interior space (20) of the tubular housing and means (7) to discharge a fluid from the lower end (4) of the tubular housing (2) in a direction which has a downward directional component. The means (6) to discharge a fluid into the interior space (20) of the tubular housing have can fluidise the soil present in this interior space.

The subject matter relates to a method and an apparatus for vibrating-in a foundation into a building ground by initiating vibrations generated by means of a vibrating device attached to the foundation, the vibrations causing liquefaction of the building ground so that the foundation penetrates the building ground.

A foundation (1) for a structure (7) comprising a body (8) having a lateral surface (11) and a distal end (10) for insertion into a soil (2). At least a region of the lateral surface (11) forms a first electrode. One or more second electrodes (9) are provided on the body (8) and are flush with or sit proud of the lateral surface (11). Each second electrode (9) extends transversely around the lateral surface (11) and is electrically insulated therefrom by an insulating strip (12) provided between the respective second electrode and the lateral surface. During installation, a voltage may be applied across the electrodes for inducing an electroosmosis effect to reduce installation resistance.
