ABSTRACT

Continuous flight auger piles constructed using the pulse discharge technology (PDT piles) are the most frequently used embedded structures in geotechnical construction. The preferred usage of those piles is due to increased values of their bearing capacity as compared to other types of bored piles. As a rule, at any construction site made up of diverse engineering and geological elements, it is difficult to achieve the same bearing capacity for the selected type of piles within the construction footprint. The use of PDT piles with controlled values of bearing capacity allows solving problems of geotechnical construction related to a particular site.
