Conclusions 1. A large-panel flexible house, designed by Mosoblproekt and the Scientific Research Institute of Foundations, showed that static stability of the house is ensured at an unevenness of settling exceeding three times that called for in the design. 2. The spread of the joint during misalignment of the panels did not exceed 74 mm, whereas the outside wall panels overlapped by 200 mm. Consequently, the possibility of the formation of a crack through the wall, which would disrupt the heating in the rooms, is eliminated. 3. Simultaneous experimental flooding of the foundation soil through a chute at several places showed that the difference of subsidence is within small limits and has virtually no effect on the design position of individual structural elements. These data permit us to recommend the erection of a building of this design when the soil in the bed is simultaneously flooded or thawed. Such preparation of the bed leads to consolidation of the soil from the load imparted by the foundation and from its own weight before the house is occupied. With this method of construction, the vertical joints are closed up just before the house is occupied. 4. The new design of the large-panel house reduces the physical volume of work and thus makes it more economical. We note in conclusion that at present a small area is being covered with houses of the described designs with corrections made on the basis of the test results.
