The article discusses the prediction of the bearing capacity of driven piles on argillite-like clays and sandstones of the Permian age. The methodology was developed and field tests of piles were performed; the aspects of the formation of the bearing capacity of piles are revealed; and recommendations are formulated for the design of foundations on bases composed of of argillite-like clays and sandstones. The results can serve as a reference for the preliminary assessment of the bearing capacity of driven piles embedded in semi-rocky soils without conducting expensive and time-consuming field trials.
