FIELD STUDIES OF SLAB FOUNDATIONS’ SETTLEMENTS FOR TWO-SECTION MULTI-STOREY BUILDING ON WEAK WATER-SATURATED SOILS

Problem statement. In the construction of multi-storey and high-rise buildings with significant loads on foundation, especially in presence weak water-saturated soils from above, pile slab foundations are usually used to meet requirements building code [1] maximum permissible deformations. The possibility using this case must be confirmed by calculations a scientific technical justification accepted model soil foundation its parameters. purpose article is substantiate application base form finite width elastic layer parameters based observations subsidence adjacent multi-story during process compare actual values deformations calculated. Conclusions. research results applying for predicting equally story sectional large-sized foundations, basis which sandy surface. However, it should noted that case, excess settlement over estimated due failure take into acount processes filtration consolidation mechanical suffusion sand particles crushed stone bed, can further taken reducing deformation modules base.
