Abstract

During the construction and operation of buildings and structures of increased responsibility in areas with weak soils, it is necessary to use bored piles of great length and diameter. They carry considerable loads—most of which are transferred to the surrounding ground along the lateral surface, and the rest of which is transferred to the underlying relatively dense layer. Consequently, the reserves of the bearing capacity of the underlying soils are not fully utilized. The piling depth of high-rise buildings usually ranges from 20 to 120 m, depending on the depth of the bedrock piles over 30 m are beyond the scope of mass design and require a special approach at all stages of the calculation and design, starting with engineering and geological surveys. This article describes the construction of Europe’s tallest building, the 462 m tall Lakhta center skyscraper.
