Abstract

The engineering and geological conditions of the central part of St. Petersburg are considered. The analysis of the main characteristics of the foundations of historical buildings (eighteenth to nineteenth century) is made based on field investigations. The data of dependence between the size of foundations, the number of floors, and the condition of soil are given. The pressure at the bottom of the foundation and the bearing capacity of the soil of the base are analyzed. The examples of the foundations of some historical buildings in St. Petersburg are given. This paper also provides monitoring results of the behavior of historical buildings, especially settlements of foundations. These characteristics of foundations that are important for the understanding of the interaction of historical old buildings with soft soil ground of St. Petersburg are described.
