The paper discusses the influence of geometrical parameters of tapered CFA piles in their settlement. The results of calculations of single CFA piles by finite element method under static compressive loads in clay soils . A comparative assessment of the effect of the length and angle of the side surface of the conical faces CFA piles on her draft. The example shows the effect of the angle of inclination and length of piles on their draft, as well as compares with precipitation cylindrical piles of similar material intensity.
