Abstract (en)
A foundation (10) for a structure including a body (1) for insertion into a soil (2) in an insertion direction during installation, the body (1) having a toe (3) at its distal end. An array of nozzles (6) are provided at the distal end for jetting a fluid, with the nozzles (6) in the array being configured such that their fluid jets (7) are complementarily directed for generating a fluid stream (8) ahead of the toe (3) which flows in a direction perpendicular to the insertion direction to erode the soil below the pile toe.
