Under reamed piles are made by C.B.R.I.( Central Building Research Institute).
In the bottom portion of the pile, enlarged portion is given which is called ‘under reamed’
or ‘bulb’.
If pile has one bulb, it is called single reamed, if the pile has two bulbs then it is called
double reamed, and if there are more than two bulbs, it is called multiple under reamed
piles.

1. Black cotton soil expands as it comes in contact with water and it gets contracted as it is
dried out. Because of this reason, there may be a chance of cracks in the structure. To avoid
such damage, under reamed pile are used in black cotton soil.
2. When the soil doesn’t have much load carrying capacity, under reamed piles are used to
increase the capacity.
Spiral auger is used to make a hole in the land for the under reamed
pile.

Special cutter is used for making the bulb. By putting enough pressure, we can increase the
dia. of bulb.
The auger is kept through the tripod and after than the digging is done. So the digging
is
done in the vertical direction.
After digging the desired depth, the auger is pulled out. The reinforcement is then inserted
in the hole. Concreting is done. If more than one pile, beam is constructed which connect
the piles and make them act like a single unit. The wall is than constructed on the beam.
