Popis: Several methods for the design of pile foundations, including those recommended in Building Code 50-102-2003 [1], are analyzed,. Tests of a model of a pile foundation in a pan with freeze-frame photographs of the displacements of sand grains, and their digital processing by the method of particle imaging velocimetry (PIV) are described. A method of analyzing a rigid spatial pile foundation with “high-“ and “low-profile” rafts of arbitrary planform, which makes it possible to obtain a uniform load distribution on the piles without use of finite-element software is proposed on the basis of experimental results. The method is implemented in the form of design software in the MathCad system. Examples of the analysis are presented.
