English term or phrase: end bearing piles
Bonjour,

Dans le secteur de la construction, plus particulièrement des piliers, je cherche à traduire : precast end bearing piles

Ces derniers, ici, sont utilisés comme soutien structurel de bâtiments.

Merci de votre aide !

pieux porteurs d'extrémité
Explanation:
"Finished metallic products such as metal framing for suspended ceilings (heavy duty), trusses, girders, columns, stairs, ground piles, bearing piles and sheet piling, cut to size sections designed for certain applications, and rails and sleepers."
http://eur-lex.europa.eu

"[...] tels que structures métalliques pour plafonds suspendus (pour surcharge élevée), fermes poutres, colonnes, escaliers, pieux de fondations, pieux porteurs et palplanches, profilés coupés à dimension et destinés à des applications définies, rails et traverses."

ne pas confondre "pile" et "pillar".
Cf Pile-driving : battre des pieux pour des fondations. Les piliers sont au dessus du sol. Les pieux sont enfoncés

Pile : a cylindrical or flat member of wood, steel, concrete, etc., often tapered or pointed at the lower end, hammered vertically into soil to form part of a foundation or retaining wall.
http://dictionary.reference.com/browse/pile

pillar : an upright shaft or structure, of stone, brick, or other material, relatively slender in proportion to its height, and of any shape in section, used as a building support, or standing alone, as for a monument: Gothic pillars; a pillar to commemorate Columbus.

mieux encore "pieux chargés en pointe"

DEF – A pile which transmits the weight of a structure to the ground; termed an end-bearing pile if the load is supported mainly by resistance developed at the pile base, or a friction pile if supported mainly by skin friction developed along the pile shaft.

DEF – Pieu assurant le report des charges d'un ouvrage sur le sol par frottement latéral et résistance en pointe. Lorsque le terme de frottement est prépondérant, le pieu est dit flottant; lorsque la base du pieu repose dans un sol peu déformable, on parle de pieu chargé en pointe, ou de pieu-colonne.

"Types of pile

End bearing piles
Friction piles
Settlement reducing piles
Tension piles
Laterally loaded piles
Piles in fill

Piles are often used because adequate bearing capacity can not be found at shallow enough depths to support the structural loads. It is important to understand that piles get support from both end bearing and skin friction. The proportion of carrying capacity generated by either end bearing or skin friction depends on the soil conditions. Piles can be used to support various different types of structural loads.



Types of pile
End bearing piles

End bearing piles are those which terminate in hard, relatively impenetrable material such as rock or very dense sand and gravel. They derive most of their carrying capacity from the resistance of the stratum at the toe of the pile."

pieux résistants à la pointe


Explanation:
The (main part of the) pile load is transmitted to the soil at the pile tip and not at the pile surface by friction.
