| Abstract: | Patterns of operation of pyramidal piles in swelling soils are given: the dependence of their rise on the taper angle, the length of the pile, and the transmitted load. The authors studied layer-by-layer displacements of soil around the pile and give their dependences on the depth of the layer's location. A formula is presented for determining coordinates of the neutral point, from which the rise of an unloaded pile is found.Scientific Research Institute of Foundations and Underground Structures.
