Referring to Fig. 1, branches 2 are obliquely integrated with a pile body 1, which comprises a concrete pipe 4 and a core 5. The concrete pipe 4 may be embeded reinforcing steel. The branches 2 are arranged in pairs along the pile body 1. The two branches 2 in each pair are symmetrically arranged and staggered with those in adjacent pairs.

Fig. 2 shows a pile cavity drilling/pressing device which is in the form of a pipe. A blade portion 11 is provided at one end of the pipe body 14. The thickness of the pipe wall increases from the blade end. At the end part of the blade portion 11, a strengthening portion, which is in the form of a round collar 12, is provided. At least one opening 13 can be provided on the pipe body 14 for forming branch cavities.
The device can be used for either soft ground or stiff ground, preferably for firm ground. It can be driven into ground by pressing.

which is preferred for soft ground. This device is further provided with a spiral cutting blade 23 connected to the outside of the pipe body. Means for removing soil such as an earth auger or a pump (not shown) is provided, or a movable conical head 25 is provided at the blade end of the pipe body to form a pile cavity without removal of any soil. This device can be driven into ground by rotating.
Fig. 4 shows a preferred embodiment of a branch cavity pressing device which is symmetrically twin-armed. Each of the arm has a chisel bearing 30, a support 31 connected to the bearing bottom, and a chisel arranged in the cavity of the chisel bearing 30 and composed of flexibly connected a chisel end 32, power transmitting balls 33 and a chisel head 34. A movable support 35 is provided at the bottoms of the supports 31.
The supports 31 are obliquely arranged and can be used as guides.
Fig. 5 shows a preferred enlarged footing cavity pressing device. A fixed collar 42 is provided at one end of a column 37. Two collars 39 slidably mounted on the column 37. A pair of pivoted arms 40 pivot with the movable collars 39 at the same side of the column 37, and another pair of arms 40 at the other side. The said two pairs of arms are symmetricaly arranged. A sleeve 38 is slidably mounted at the other end '- 200;~7~
of the column 37. As the sleeve 38 moves downwardly, the pivoted arms 40 are folded. Thus, the radial dimension of the device is increased.
In forming a reinforced concrete load-bearing pile according to the invention, a pile cavity is firstly formed. Then branch cavities and enlarged footing cavities are to be formed. As a cavity of the pile is completed, reinforcing steel can be put in and casting-in-place can be carried out.
The pile cavity drilling/pressing device can be used to form the pile cavity. Either a pipe type device or a screw type device can be used according to the degree of compactness of the soil. The device can be driven into the qround either vertically or at an angle of inclination. An earth auger 24 is used to take out the soil (or a mud pump can be used to pump out the-mud). If a movable conical head 25 is mounted at the beginning part of the device, a pile cavity may be formed without taking out the soil. If the ground is stiff, the pile drilling/pressing device can be taken out when the cavity is made. As the device is being withdrawn, the branch cavities can be made through the openings on the pipe body, and the enlarged footing cavities can also be made at the end of the pipe body. In case of the soil layer which is easy to collapse, the pile drilling/pressing device may be withdrawn first, and a precast concrete tube 4 is put in instead. Then the branch cavities and the enlarged footing cavities are .. ..
200;~3~6 made. In forming branch cavities, the chisel head 34 of the branch cavity pressing device is directed to either the openings 13 on the pipe body 14 of the drilling/pressing device (there may be a pair of openings at one level and another pair of openings at different positions of a different level), or to the openings provided on the precast concrete pipe 4. Pressure is applied at the chisel end 32. Since the chisel end 32, the power transmitting balls 33 and the chisel head 34 are connected by a steel cable, the chisel head 34 can be taken out at any time for filling consolidating material (soilid waste, backfill, etc), so that the surroundings and base of the branch cavities can be consolidated. In forming the cavities for enlarged footings,the enlarged footing cavity pressing device is introduced into the pile cavity to a predetermined depth (there can be more than one enlarged footing for one pile), then,the pressing sleeve 38 is pressed continually while the device is rotated. The pivoted arms 40 may form a cavity for the enlarged footing after the device being rotated 180~. Enlarged footing may also be made with the branch cavity pressing device by turning the chisel bearing 30 while pressing the chisel end 32, getting the same effect as using the enlarged footing cavity pressing device. In forming cavities for enlarged footings, while the cavities are being pressed, filling materials may be added, and the base may be compacted by means of rammers so as to increase the degree of compactness of the soil layer.
After forming the pile cavity, the branches and enlarged foot-ing cavities, reinforcing steel bars may be placed into the cavity and concrete may be cast. Thus the entire process of _g_ 20a3~76 ~ .
making the reinforced concrete load-bearing pile with multi-branches and enlarged footings is completed. Branches may be precasted. h~hen the branch cavities are made, the precasted branches may be put into place by means of the branch cavity pressing device. The pile can finally be casted.
Thus, while the invention has been described in relation to a particular embodiment, those having skill in the art will recognize modifications of materials, structure and the like which will still fall within the scope of the present invention.

A sleeve 38 is slidably mounted at the other end '- 200;~7~
of the column 37. As the sleeve 38 moves downwardly, the pivoted arms 40 are folded. Thus, the radial dimension of the device is increased.
In forming a reinforced concrete load-bearing pile according to the invention, a pile cavity is firstly formed. Then branch cavities and enlarged footing cavities are to be formed. As a cavity of the pile is completed, reinforcing steel can be put in and casting-in-place can be carried out.
The pile cavity drilling/pressing device can be used to form the pile cavity. Either a pipe type device or a screw type device can be used according to the degree of compactness of the soil.

As the device is being withdrawn, the branch cavities can be made through the openings on the pipe body, and the enlarged footing cavities can also be made at the end of the pipe body. In case of the soil layer which is easy to collapse, the pile drilling/pressing device may be withdrawn first, and a precast concrete tube 4 is put in instead. Then the branch cavities and the enlarged footing cavities are .. ..
200;~3~6 made. In forming branch cavities, the chisel head 34 of the branch cavity pressing device is directed to either the openings 13 on the pipe body 14 of the drilling/pressing device (there may be a pair of openings at one level and another pair of openings at different positions of a different level), or to the openings provided on the precast concrete pipe 4.

Enlarged footing may also be made with the branch cavity pressing device by turning the chisel bearing 30 while pressing the chisel end 32, getting the same effect as using the enlarged footing cavity pressing device. In forming cavities for enlarged footings, while the cavities are being pressed, filling materials may be added, and the base may be compacted by means of rammers so as to increase the degree of compactness of the soil layer.
After forming the pile cavity, the branches and enlarged foot-ing cavities, reinforcing steel bars may be placed into the cavity and concrete may be cast. Thus the entire process of _g_ 20a3~76 ~ .
