In the case of using pile technology in construction and reconstruction buildings structures, issue assessing settlement foundations arises quite sharp-ly. Modern regulatory documents do not reflect reliable methods for calculating pile-raft foundations, especially if short piles are used (with a length 3-10 m). The ar-ticle provides calculation methodology that makes it possible to assess taki...

This work is a numerical investigation of the effect thermally induced volumetric collapse normally consolidated clays on performance energy piles. A series coupled thermo-hydro-mechanical Finite Element simulations were carried out using commercial software ABAQUS. These examined single free-head pile embedded in clay layer subjected to constant mechanical load and number heating/cooling cycle...
