4. Consideration of the rheological properties of clay soils in the calculation of settlement of a single pile and pile foundation

For many years, pile foundations have been one of the most popular types of foundations used in practice. Among the parameters considered in pile design, special attention is given to parameters such as settlement and bearing capacity of the pile. Since many buildings and structures (both in Russia and abroad) are erected on foundations composed of weak clay soils, the settlements of which are usually uneven and can develop over years and even decades, taking into account the rheological properties of clay soils when designing various types of foundations, including piles, is necessary. Taking into account the rheological properties of clay soils is necessary in order to subsequently avoid excessive development of settlements, tilts and displacements of various buildings and structures, as well as changes in the stress-strain state of the base-foundation-above-ground structures system, since these phenomena can lead to disruption of normal operating conditions of various buildings and structures up to their destruction. The paper presents the determination of the viscosity coefficient of clay soil based on experimental studies in a simple shear device, and also solves the problems of determining the settlement of a single pile and pile foundation (using a computational cell as an example) taking into account the rheological properties of clay soils.
