Abstract: Pile foundations for power transmission towers or the like for installation in different types of soil prone to frost heaving include a casing pipe and a dipped pile, comprising a shaft and a toe bulb, secured at the bottom of the shaft. The pile comprises rigid elements that are mounted on the shaft in the direction of horizontal forces acting on the pile against the anticipated horizontal loads. The rigid elements transfer horizontal forces from the pile to the casing pipe.

Abstract: A method for installing pile foundations for power transmission towers or the like in different types of soil prone to frost heaving provides piles with bearing capacity against horizontal loads, reduced labor content and installation cost, and increased reliability against the impact of frost heaving forces of the soil on the pile. A casing pipe is driven in and then the pile is inserted into it, while installing rigid elements on the pile shaft by welding. When driving the pile, when a mark indicating a point of installation for a rigid element reaches the top of the casing pipe, a geometric measurement of gaps is made between the casing pipe and the pile. Based on the measurement, rigid elements are sized and welded in pairs on the opposite side in a vertical plane. The operation of placing and welding is then repeated during the pipe inserting.

Abstract: A pipeline support for use in severe geological conditions such as permafrost provides stability, strength and immovability of the pipeline support under relatively high pressure and that that allows an adjustment of a height or slope of the pipeline support. A method of using the support includes controlling the height or slope angle of the support during operation of the pipeline support. A spool of the support is installed and fixed on two support axes that are transverse beams installed in support frames and that can be moved along with the support spool. After that, movable power-operated mechanisms are positioned under each support axis. These mechanisms lift or lower the spool and support axes to the desired height and slope. The support axes are then fixed in frames at the desired height and spool slope angle.

Abstract: A method for installing driven cast-in-situ supports of pipes, power transmission towers, and in the mounting of buildings and structures on permafrost soils excludes the ingress of slurry and groundwater into the hole when installing driven cast-in-situ piles in permafrost soils in summer having a thawed seasonal freezing and thawing layer while avoiding the impact of frost heaving forces of soil from seasonal freezing conditions. The method includes driving a casing pipe at a depth of seasonal freezing and thawing of soil, drilling a pilot hole at a depth of not less than the depth of seasonal freezing and thawing of the soil, pouring hardening material in the amount required to fill in the space between the pilot hole walls and the pile from the bottom of the pilot hole to the bottom of seasonal freezing and thawing soil layer, installation of the pile in the pilot hole and poured mortar, and filling the remaining space between the pile and the casing pipe with non-frost heaving loose inert material.
