ABSTRACT
The ground conditions of the site considered in the present paper are characterized by presence of quaternary deposits of variable origin and bedrock of Wendian strata of the Kotlin horizon. The quaternary strata within the boundaries of test areas for testing piles and barrettes extend down to 43-45 m. Following those from 45.0 m to 53.0 m stratification consists of bluish-grey laminated clays with thin inclusions of dislocated sandstone (max.1 mm in thickness). Bluishgrey laminated clays continue to follow from 53.0 m down to 127.5 m. Within the boundaries of test areas under consideration, SPT tests on subsoil were conducted — predominantly on quaternary deposits (up to the upper boundary of dislocated Wendian strata, i.e. going down to 40-43 m).
