Abstract

This paper explores geological processes that explain the causes of differential settlements of building foundations on loess-like collapsible soil. Recommendations have been developed to eliminate differential settlements of multi-storey buildings on foothill areas, including measures to restore a building's vertical position, to reinforce the foundation soil to prevent settlement, and to eliminate foundation moistening. The proposed measures were approved upon the elimination of unacceptable deformations and the stabilization of settlements of existing 9-storey buildings of a residential complex in the Alatau district of Almaty, Kazakhstan.
