On the question of reducing deformability of subsiding soils in construction of multi-storey apartment buildings

The article deals with the method of reducing the compressibility of the subsidence soil under the bottom of a slab foundation of a multi-storey apartment building by reinforcing the soil with rigid elements, which are concrete piles in rolled wells. This method is effective because it eliminates the subsidence properties of the soil and significantly increases the deformation modulus, which causes a decrease in the amount of precipitation of the foundations of the designed object. An example of the use of this method for a multi-storey apartment building and the results of field plate load tests of artificially improved soil are given
