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.
