Review article

The article presents a calculation algorithm of dependency of the foundation settlement on the loading value worked out in the PLAXIS 3D Foundation program system of finite element analysis. The results of modeling of the stress and strain state of the base around the piles have been compared with those of experimental data presented by various researchers. Modeling of pile static load tests has been performed considering the stress area dimensions, soil deformation properties change in the soil around the piles, and the pile operation time as a part of the existing foundation. The reliability evaluation of the obtained solutions has been carried out by comparing the numerical simulation results and the field experiment data.
