Experience in pile testing on different construction sites

Abstract

The paper presents the experience of soil testing with piles at various construction sites in Kazakhstan. Different methods are chosen in the field tests depending on the engineering and geological conditions and objectives. The choice of each is guided by the use of special equipment and devices. Soil tests with piles have an advantage to date. It is important to determine the size and type of piles that will be used in the foundation. The maximum depth of the pile is checked with the predicted load. The paper presented discussion of the technical features of each method, the justification of the selected solution. Analysis of experience is a very important aspect, of the successful implementation of megaprojects and new construction.
