ABSTRACT
Today high-rise buildings is actively constructed in the central districts of Perm. It leads to the foundation depth and load increase on the soils the as well. Under these conditions foundations interact with geological Lower Permian deposits are the most effective and sometimes the only possible type of foundations. Therefore in the conditions of building in Russia it is important to know the real properties of Lower Permian soft rocks for the forecast of the settlement and bearing capacity of the foundations based on them (Bartolomey 2007, Ponomarev 2010).
