Improvement of the method of estimation of the carrier performance of pile in the foundation of the facility
The shortcomings of the standard method for estimating the bearing capacity of piles by the method of stepwise increasing load are noted, in which the pressing load on the natural or standard pile is applied in steps with each time delay until the conditional stabilization of the pile settles, which does not correspond to the loading of piles in the foundation during the construction of structures, increases almost constantly. A description is given of the technique developed by the authors for estimating the load-carrying capacity of piles in the foundation of a structure by testing a standard pile using the ever-increasing load method. The technique approximates the conditions of testing the reference pile to the conditions of the natural pile in the foundation of the structure, increases the reliability and accuracy of determining the bearing capacity of the natural pile in the foundation of the structure, reduces labor costs in testing, and thus creates a certain practical and economic effect.
