Evaluation of the effectiveness of the parameters of pile foundations at the design stage

The analysis and evaluation of the possibility of pile placement options, which took into account various combinations of foundation loading, was carried out on the example of the construction of a residential building, during the design and calculation of which there is a significant margin of safety of the most loaded pile and the difference in effort between the most and least loaded piles, as evidenced by the value of the average load per pile, which is almost two times less than the permissible value, indicate insufficient use of the bearing capacity of the pile as part of the foundation. As a result of the project adjustment, it was possible to reduce the number of piles and achieve significant cost savings of the SMR.
