1. A pile comprising: a shaft; a soil displacement head, operatively connected to a first end of said shaft, having a helical blade with a leading edge and a trailing edge; and a lateral compaction element, located within said helical blade, to laterally compact a medium, as the pile is driven into the medium, to create an annulus in the medium; said soil displacement head creating an annulus in a medium; said shaft having a plurality of non-helical parallel deformed bar deformations formed on said shaft to provide a gripping interface between a supporting medium, located within the annulus, and said shaft; each non-helical parallel deformed bar deformation, formed on said shaft, fully encircling said shaft in a manner parallel to an adjacent non-helical parallel deformed bar deformation formed on said shaft; said non-helical parallel deformed bar deformations being configured in conformance with a maximum gap specification of ATSM Standard A615/A615M-20.
