THE FILLING PILE SETTLEMENT PROCESS INVESTIGATION
The filling piles and their joint work with soil are the objects of research. The joint working of filling piles and soil has been researched with the constant rate of loading (CRL) and the continuous measuring of deformations of physical model. The experiment was realized at the physical model of filling pile in soil with the apparatus AKP-6NM. The hypothesis of mechanical working of near-pile soil was proposed as the result of the experiment
