In the last four decades significant effort has been devoted to designing piles in swelling soils. For this purpose, an investigation site was established in Be'ne in Western Galilee- Northern Israel. On this site twenty five unloaded cast-in-situ piles, both uncoated and coated, were installed in a moderately expansive clay soil in the end of summer 1996. The piles were executed to different depths ranging between 2.0m and 7.0m and were observed over a period of 27 months. Results obtained from observations and from fullscale static pull out tests showed that separating the piles from the surrounding clay in the active zone by a twin walled plastic sleeve eliminated the heave forces significantly.
