Abstract

Construction project engineers are faced with the task of ensuring reliability and durability of pile foundations while achieving their cost-efficiency. This paper presents the experimental data on implementation of RIT technology, a Russian know-how in the field of pile foundations that has been successfully used by construction projects in Russia and abroad. Evidence is presented of the advantages that make RIT-piles an undeniably competitive choice over conventional pile designs. This article discusses the use of the RITA pile technique in Russia, Germany and Tunisia. The comparison of the bearing capacity of piles manufactured using Fundex technology and piles-RIT operating under the same initial conditions and almost the same initial dimensions is shown. According to the results of work in Germany, the piles-RIT received product testing by the German institute DIBt. Particular attention is paid to the experience of using piles in the conditions of weak soils of the coastal areas of Tunisia. It is shown that when replacing traditional bored piles with piles-RIT, the cost of pile foundations is reduced. The production time of pile foundations is reduced by 2-3 times.
