Review article

The article proposes a new method for experimental evaluating of the pile distortion settlement value based on the results of static soil tests with a production pile. Evaluation of the pile distortion settlement value has been carried out for the most common dimensions and types of piles which were made using various technologies in different soil conditions (the total number of 157 piles). There has been revealed an empirical equation of the value of pile distortion settlement in dependence on the geometric parameters of piles and manufacturing technology.
