Conclusions 1. Piles that are tamped into predrilled holes cutting through soils classed as type II in terms of proneness to slump-type settlement, which have expended tips supported on clayey soils and clays that are not prone to slump-type settlement and that are situated above the water table under conditions prevalent in Zaporozhe, have low (with respect to type-I soils), but, in many cases, completely adequate bearing capacity, and can be used to build many structures. 2. The load friction in soil classed as type II in terms of proneness to slump-type settlement amounts to 30–35 kN/m2 along the lateral surface of a pile in Zaporozhe. 3. The allowable design load on a pile in soils classed as type II in terms of proneness to slump-type settlement should be determined, as a rule, from pile tests in an experimental trench where the soil develops slump-type settlement under its own weight. 4. A smaller load friction acts on a pile whose lateral surface is covered with three to five layers of elastic sheathing than on the unprotected piles.
