The Case from Geotechnical Practice: Prevention of Emergency Situation at the Facility

The operational reliability of any constructed facility primarily depends on the quality of the buried reinforced concrete structures. When using driven or pressed piles, special attention should be paid by the technical supervision services to ensure that their lower ends reach the design levels. In addition, their bearing capacity should be determined by static loads, proving the accepted design bearing capacity. Otherwise, it is decided to redesign the pile field. For cases with the bases consisting of subsidence soils ensuring reliability of the pile basis gets special attention. These soils, having specific properties, with solid consistency in the natural state, and plastic consistency in the water – saturated state often mislead designers and builders. The case of strengthening of the finished pile foundation made of prismatic piles in collapsing soils of the first type with the help of bored-injected piles made by pulse-discharge technology (piles ERT) is presented.
