Abstract

This article introduces and uses screw piles in the road construction industry. Considering the continuous expansion of the country's need for various restraints and piles in the construction industry and other industries such as road construction, telecommunications, etc., the use of advanced and modern technologies in this field are very important. It is important to note that, according to studies, a large percentage of the operating costs are spent on the construction of the foundation on loose and dense land. Therefore, the use of foundations that have a higher construction speed, are also economically viable and for different types of soil groups, environmental compatibility, no excessive change of soil layers, easy implementation conditions and no need for specialized personnel, Suitable, recommended.Due to the simple technology and fast implementation of this type of pile in all climatic and regional conditions and also the lower implementation cost compared to other similar methods, the use of this type of pile in the soil of the road construction bed can be very useful.
