Assessment of Structural Foundation's Contribution to the Stability of a Site Susceptible to Sliding☆

Abstract Assessment deep foundation structural system's contribution on stability of a site susceptible to sliding when using “top carrier piles” represents the main objective of this paper. For this, pile-ground interaction was analyzed in case of full mobilization of the shear resistance soil after dangerous surfaces of yielding. Afterwards, with the aid of the results obtained, the bundle between the number of structural piles and the number of piles necessary for ensuring the stability of settlement in known soil conditions was established.
