STUDIES ON THE STRESSED-STRAINED STATE OF FROZEN FOUNDATION SOILS ALONG THE LATERAL SURFACE OF CORRUGATED PILES
Processes occurring during changing in the geometric parameters of pile ribs in frozen foundation soils have been studied. The corrugated pile models have been tested in frozen sands in Underground Laboratory, Melnikov Permafrost Institute, SO RAN (Siberian Branch, Russian Academy of Sciences). On the basis of experimental data, regularities in the load-bearing capacity of the foundation as a function of the geometric parameters of the ribs have been obtained.
