HP Shapes

HP shapes are wide-flange sections proportioned specifically for use as bearing piles — the flange and web thicknesses are nearly equal, giving a robust, near-square profile that can withstand the heavy driving stresses of pile installation without local damage. They're the standard choice for deep foundations in Canadian construction, driven into the ground to transfer building loads down to competent bearing strata or by friction along the pile shaft. Every HP shape in the CISC 12 range is available here as a free CAD block, with full dimension and property data included.
