1. INTRODUCTION
Tendency to the development and improvement of new constructions quality
with the account of time, energy, labor force and money save is becoming one of
the issues in implementation of different projects between customers and
performers. Modern engineering experience has developed some new technologies
as Full Displacement Piling (FDP) technology which has started adoption in
western countries. With the aim of finding more effective ways of pile boring we
tried to use this technology in the soil condition of Astana city, the Republic of
Kazakhstan. In this article we tried to present the have been achieved data on
bearing capacity in the result of application of the FDP technology. According to
the achieved data the FDP technology gives opportunity to save money and labor
force.

2. ENGINEERING - GEOLOGICAL CONDITIONS OF THE SITE

On the basis of the visual description of grounds and to the data of the skilled field
works confirmed with results of laboratory researchers, division of grounds,
researches composing the site on engineering - geological elements in their
sequences of bedding:
EGE-1.Fill-up soil.
EGE-2. Loamy soil, water saturated
EGE-3.Gravelly sand.
EGE-4.Gravel soil
EGE-5.Loamy soil with inclusion gruss and gravel.

 3. THE FDP TECHNOLOGY
This technology includes formation of a hole up to necessary depth by means
special cone-shaped boring tool, without excavation due to its compacting
(lamination) a bottom of the hole and its lateral surface. Then concreting of this
hole from bottom, by continues feeding of plastic concrete under pressure by
means of concrete pump through the aperture in the boring tool, up to its full
filling with concrete. Then installation reinforcing cage of the corresponding
length. The shape of the pile is fulfilled in 4 ways (Figure 1).

Fig. 1.

First way: Installation of the boring tool on a point.

Second way: Performance of a hole without of excavation of a soil due to its
compaction (lamination).
Third way: Extraction of the boring tool with simultaneous filling a hole by
concrete through an aperture the boring tool.
Forth way: Installation of spatial reinforcing cage.

THE METHOD AND RESULTS OF PILING TESTS

The technology of static loading test of bored piles was done in accordance with
the requirements of GOST 5686-94, i.e. according to the GOST requirements
bored pile is tested after reaching its concrete strength of precast pile till 80% from
total strength and for driving piles the test is provided after 6 day "rest". Then both
piles are tested on their concrete body integrity with the help of computer testing -
FPDS SIT (Foundation Pile Diagnostic System Sonic Integrity Testing) [1].

Fig. 4. Testing bored pile by static load test

The Loads were made by three 2000 kN hydraulic jacks DG200P150 rest on
anchoring supporting stand. The reaction force took by forth anchoring bored piles
(Figure 4). The pressure in the jack was created with the help of manual oil pump
station MNSR-400, load was controlled with the technical monometer
MA100BU63. Measuring of settlement every pile was performed by two
deflectometers type of 6PAO with division of a scale 0.01 mm. (Figure 3). The
first count out - right after putting the loading, then consequently 4 counts out with
the interval 15 minutes, 2 counts out with the interval 30 minutes and further in
every hour till the conditional stabilization of deformation [2]. For the criterion of
conditional stabilization of deformation was taken the speed of settlement of bored
pile on the given stage of loading that did not exceed 0.1mm during the last 1 hour
of observation [2].

CONCLUSION
The advantages of the FDP pile techniques are:
- High productivity and bearing capacity of the FDP piles;
- High quality of filling of a borehole concrete under pressure;
- Absence of a sludge by boring of a ground on a construction site;
- Absence of significant vibrating and dynamic influences on the next buildings
and constructions;
