Increasing the bearing capacity of the driven piles by increasing the strength of the surrounding piles space

The article presents the results of laboratory tests of driven piles with static load, the near-pile space of which has been improved by crushed stone and glass chips. The model piles were driven into an array of crushed stone or glass chips, which were placed in pre-drilled wells of different diameters. The purpose of the laboratory studies was to increase the bearing capacity of the driven pile due to the improved near-pile space, which was compared with the same bearing capacity of the pile, but only without improving the near-pile space. The obtained research results have shown the effectiveness of improving the surrounding pile space, which makes it possible to increase the bearing capacity of the driven pile in foundations with low numerical indicators of physical and mechanical characteristics. In addition to increasing the bearing capacity of the driven piles, the issue of recycling glass waste is being addressed, and consequently improving the environmental situation of the environment.
