agree Chris Hopley : I was thinking along the same lines, but didn't know what it was called. Could only think of 'strut', cf. schroefstempel = adjustable strut

Similar to H-Piles, Pipe Piles are also designed to transfer structural loads through the foundation to soils below. Where H-Piles are typically classified as point bearing, Pipe Piles are most efficient as friction piles. Pipe Piles have substantial surface area that interacts with the surrounding soil to provide great frictional load resistance.

disagree Dave Greatrix : Having read the text once again, I can't see a frame being made up of a number of piles.

disagree Saskia Steur (X) : The frame is temporary, not structural and permanent. This is how I read the text, anyway, sorry
