Soil Mechanics and Foundation Engineering Aims and scope

Conclusions

1. Use of reinforced-concrete HCP and PS on many projects involving industrial and civil construction may significantly lower material consumption for the construction of foundations and labor outlays for their installation.

2. Methods that prevent crack formation in PS during their embedment and while in service have been developed and implemented for the broader practical implementation of substantially refined HCP and PS designs; a vibratory procedure (vibratory pile drivers, vibrating grab buckets), which ensures the embedment of hollow circular piles and pile shells to a depth of up to 40–50 m has been created.

3. For broader implementation of HCP and PS, it is necessary to adjust their manufacture at plants run by interested ministries, bringing its volume to 10–15% of the volume of prismatic shells; and, to tool the manufacturers' plants with the required production equipment, which will provide for the manufacture of high-quality HCP and PS.

The solution of these problems may increase the efficiency of pile-foundation constructions, save metal, cement, mineral resources, and energy, and lower labor outlays required for their installation.
