ABSTRACT

The paper addresses the need of studying properties of Silty Clay Soils (SCSs) at their unloading during excavation of a deep foundation pit as a result of exposure to negative climatic and technological factors. The present quantitative research is conducted using a case study of a construction facility in Tyumen. The paper analyzes causes behind significant differential settlements in the soil base. A need for further theoretical and experimental research with the view to obtain a more accurate value of building settlement when constructing deep foundation pits is identified.
