The design of shallow foundations is performed in accordance with different building regulations depending on geotechnical and geological conditions. This paper involves the design calculations applying Kazakhstani and European approaches. The design of shallow foundations in Nur-Sultan city in Kazakhstan was implemented by the calculation of bearing capacity and elastic settlement ...

The construction of unique structures is complicated by the fact that codes and standards do not exactly apply to such structures. This paper presents an overview of the analysis, design, wind tunnel testing and field monitoring of a 70 m high monument that was constructed in the capital city of Nur-Sultan in the Republic of Kazakhstan. This overview constitutes a useful ...

Destructuring settlements due to frost heave during the structures’ exploitation are often not taken into account at the designing stage, although they are indirectly related to the bearing capacity of the soils. The objective of this research was analyzing the effect of the number of freezingthawing cycles on the strength characteristics of soils. A paired experiment with ...

Estimation of bearing capacity and settlement plays an essential role in designing pile foundations of buildings. This paper presents the results of pile static and dynamic loading tests taken place in the construction sites of Caspian Sea Port Prorva and Tengiz. The static loading tests (SLT) and static compression loading tests (SCLT) were carried out according to the ...

Laboratory and experimental tests in huge amount are required during engineering surveys for large and critical buildings and structures especially in complex geological conditions. The laboratory investigations are applicable in cases with no possibility for field tests. However, as a rule the results obtained from laboratory investigations (in particular compression tests) ...

This paper presents the complex analysis of diverse field loading tests of ten large diameter deep bored piles on CFA technology at the Karachaganak Processing Complex (KPC), Aksay, Kazakhstan. On the basis of core sample analysis and seismic studies, the geological conditions of this field are varied and complicated. According to the project design, the field tests of CFA ...

Pile foundations become more essential during the construction of mega projects of the new capital of Kazakhstan–Astana. Many advanced pile technologies are appearing today. Unfortunately, Kazakhstan Standards have not a recommendation for modern pile design, testing and quality control methods. This paper presents methodic of the testing pile by ASTM D8169 (USA) standard ...

vHigh-rise buildings pose new challenges for engineers, especially in the field of calculations and design of above-ground structures, bases and foundations. Some consideration the anticipated responses to adjacent buildings during construction are presented. This will require the design professional to survey the condition of the adjacent properties to understand their ...

This article presents the detection of defects in bored piles with cross-section 1.2†1.5 m and length 10†53 m. PIT and Сross-hole Sonic Logging (CSL) methods were used to detect defects in piles. These works were carried out in the city of Nur-Sultan on LRT construction site. Integrity inspections performed after installation are often the most reasonable alternative ...
