Load capacity of high-explosive piles’ bases: rational geotechnical design

The results of the latest innovative achievements in the field of pile foundation engineering are summarized. The relevance is justified for an integrated solution to the scientific and technical problem of development of rational geotechnical designs of high-explosive single pile foundations. The goal and objectives of the scientific research are set. The subject matter of the computational and theoretical research is represented by a full demonstration of the scientific results obtained. Geotechnics is based on the methodologies that include the provisions of the geomechanics theory and the methods of enquiry into a computational-theoretical research. The proposed rational geotechnical design of high-explosive single pile foundations makes it possible to determine their design dimensions from the bases’ load capacity values equal to the critical load on the pile.
