Safety of bases and foundations in the transition to the parametric standardization model of construction
Abstract
Introduction. Since September 2024, the construction industry of the Russian Federation has begun a gradual transition from the prescriptive method of standardization to a parametric approach establishing key requirements for design objects. In this regard, the regulatory framework must be revised to ensure the development of alternative methods and mechanisms for substantiating the compliance of design values and characteristics with safety requirements for both the structure as a whole and its bases and foundations.
Aim. To review the global experience of parametric standardization in geotechnics, identify key design requirements, and analyze methods for ensuring the safety of design solutions for bases and foundations.
Materials and methods. The analysis includes the study of domestic and foreign regulatory and methodological documents, as well as comparative calculations of test examples.
Results. We have established the obligatory requirements for design solutions of bases and foundations under the parametric standardization method.
Conclusions. The transition of the domestic standard system to the parametric method of construction design requires a certain time period. The requirements for compliance with the safety of bases and foundations in the parametric system of standards must still be achieved through ensuring reliability criteria during inspections of foundations, structures, and buildings for limit states by calculation, testing, and simulation. Scientific research, geotechnical monitoring, and observational methods, as well as geotechnical risk assessment will play an ever-increasing role in confirming the compliance of design solutions with regulatory requirements.
