Comparison of experimental pile penetration force and calculated by regulatory documents

Abstract

The paper studies the pile penetration force in engineering and geological conditions of Tomsk. The pile penetration method allows piles to be penetrated in urban conditions with a large number of historical buildings, which makes this work extremely relevant for Tomsk and other cities.The paper presents experimental data and theoretical calculations of the pile penetration in various districts of Tomsk. Theoretical calculations are based on several regulatory documents. Research results allow assessing the applicability of the proposed methods to engineering and geological conditions of Tomsk as well as identifying factors reducing the reliability this method. Recommendations are given for selecting methods to determine the pile penetration force, depending on the soil conditions at the construction site.
