There are different terms used to describe different types of deep foundations including the pile (which is analogous to a pole)‚

Subsumption Theory (David Ausubel) Ausubel’s theory is concerned with how individuals learn large amounts of meaningful material from verbal/textual presentations in a school setting (in contrast to theories developed in the context of laboratory experiments). According to Ausubel‚ learning is based upon the kinds of superordinate‚ representational‚ and combinatorial processes that occur during the reception of information. A primary process in learning is subsumption in which new material is related
