Abstract:
This paper includes the short summary about dynamic and static soil tests by driven piles with
square cross-section (30×30 cm and length of 12 m) commonly used for the problematic soil
conditions of Astana. The definitions and determination methodologies of the pile bearing capacity
by aforementioned methods were also given. As an example for those methods, paper describes the
results of the dynamic, static and the new in Astana PDA (Pile Dynamic Analyzer) tests of soils by
piles performed in the construction site of the “New Railway Station”. The possible depth of piling
and piles bearing capacity were determined according to the results of tests. As well as the
recommendations for the device of working piles of construction project were issued.
