Describe the main types, features, classification of fill soils, causes of deformations of buildings and structures on these soils, recommendations for engineering surveys, as well as features of the stress-strain state of fill soils, their interaction with piles, types and types of foundations, design of shallow foundations (ordinary, in rammed pits, from driving blocks) and pile (from driven, packed in drilled wells, etc.). The arrangement of artificial foundations, shallow foundations and pile foundations, restoration of deformed buildings, geotechnical monitoring, examples from the experience of construction on bulk soils are described, in conclusion - some areas of scientific research of this problem. Most of the methods for arranging bases and foundations described in the book are widely applicable to other types of soils.
