Data confidence 70 medium

How this score is calculated

It is built from checkable properties of the record itself: whether the article has a DOI, how many independent sources confirmed its data, whether the required fields are filled in, and how recent the latest confirmation is. Disagreement between sources and a missing identifier lower it. A value of 80 or above means the record was published without further checking; 60 to 79 means it is published at reduced confidence, with a manual check advisable. A record verified by an editor by hand is never pushed below 90 by a recalculation. This scores our data about the article, not the article itself.

Abstract

The article considers the project a new railway station on problematical soils of Astana, as well as light rail LRT Project. This article includes a summary of dynamic and static tests of driven and bored piles. Also, it is given the methodology for determining the bearing capacity of piles. As an example of these methods, the results of the dynamic, static and new PDA (Pile Dynamic Analyzer) test of teamwork and piles of soil carried out on the construction site “The new railway station in Astana” and Project light railway LRT (Light Railway Transport) planned to build in time for the World Expo in Astana EXPO-2017. This paper presented a short description of changes to the concept of Kazakhstan pile foundation design and to use PDA and DLT and SLT pile load tests. By georadar survey was funded the areas which reported a hard rock at a depth of 16 meters and other soil layers.
