Increasing the Bearing Capacity of the Base of the Pile Heel

The results of experimental studies of methods for increasing the bearing capacity of the base of the pile heel are presented, as well as the sediment-load dependences for two piles with a reinforced heel using various technologies and one pile without reinforcement are presented. In recent years, several ways have been developed to increase the bearing capacity of the base of the pile heel, research on which has been carried out to a limited extent. Nevertheless, the issue of accounting for the bearing capacity of the heel is currently very acute, as it can play a key role in determining the bearing capacity of piles and the total number of piles.
