Review article

This article discusses a method for increasing therigidity of a pile foundation base by locally reinforcingthe foundation soil with soil-cement columns, using theconstruction of a multi-apartment residential building asa case study. An analysis of various modeling schemes forreinforcing soil pockets was performed using the MidasGTS NX software package. The technology for retrievingcore samples from depth is described, aimed at theexperimental confirmation of the design deformationmodulus values of the soil-cement columns. A method for calculating the reduced deformation modulus of the reinforced foundation soil is described.
