Abstract

The article presents the results of numerical analysis for pile foundation in seasonally freezing soil ground. This project uses the static tests of soil by piles at the construction site of Cargo off-loading facilities (Prorva, Atyrau region, Kazakhstan). The project area is located along the east coast of the Caspian Sea, both onshore and offshore, near the Prorva oilfield, Kazakhstan. At present, the North Caspian Sea has a limited water depth (max 8 m). According to the test results have been made design changes in the pile foundation. Static tests (SCLT) were carried out on the piles with 16m in length and precast concrete joint pile foundations with a total length of 22m to 27m. This research is important for an understanding of the interaction mechanism of precast composite joint piles with seasonally freezing soil ground of the Caspian Sea coastal area of the site.
