The applications of dynamic and static piling tests of Astana

Abstract

This paper includes the short summary about dynamic and static tests by driven piles (cross-section 30×30 cm and length of 12 m). The definitions methodologies of the pile bearing capacity by aforementioned methods were also given. As an example for those methods, paper describes the results of the dynamic, static and the new in Astana PDA (Pile Dynamic Analyzer) tests of soils by piles performed in the construction site of the “New Railway Station” (Fig. 1). The possible depth of penetration and piles bearing capacity were determined according to the results of tests, as well as the recommendations for the device of working piles of construction project were issued.
