Effect of frost-heave forces of soils on the bearing capacity of pyramidal piles
Conclusions 1. Foundations formed from short pyramidal piles can be used in soils slightly prone to heaving without any restructions placed on bearing capacity, and should never be used in soils highly prone to heaving. 2. The installation of foundations formed from short pyramidal piles 3–4 m long in soils moderately prone to heaving with a heaving modulus m ≤ 7 is possible in principle. In this case, however, the load on the pile should be limited to the value determined by computation as a function of the frost depth of the soil and the assigned length of the pile in conformity with the method outlined in the paper. 3. Since the results obtained and the conclusions drawn apply to piles only of three of the most widely used type sizes, and their investigation was limited only to three experimental sites, questions raised in the paper will require further study.
