The article observes the results of numerical simulation of the interaction of socketed shafts with rocks under the action of horizontal loads. The study revealed the following features of deformation and failure of the system "shaft? rock mass". Analysis of the obtained results confirmed the conclusion previously made by other researchers that the curve of deformation of the socketed shaft may be approximated by bi-linear dependence, in which the inflection point corresponds to the end of the linear section of th...

The prestressed injected ground anchor is a device, one end of which is fixed in the soil by injecting a cement grout, and the other is fixed on the retained structure after prestressing. Ground anchors are widely used in many building and construction sectors as temporary or permanent elements of structure for fixing sliding slopes and retaining wall, for strengthening of foundation, preventing uplift of underground structures, ets. In this paper using of ground anchors for construction of new berth and renovatio...

It is a well-known fact that a construction is as strong as its foundations are. Nowadays the constructions sites with good soils for foundations are fewer and fewer. One of the most encountered issue on sites, especially in road construction is the presence of highly cohesive soils, soils that are easily affected by the change of the water content. Active clay soils present a problematic challenge for civil and geotechnical engineers all over the world. Key aspects that need identification when dealing with expan...
