Summary:The technical issues described in the article concern the aspects of the implementation of foundations for buried flexible steel structures. The modernity of these objects has surpassed the solutions applied for their foundations. The foundations of these structures are most frequently made as traditional “rigid” structures (which is related to their massiveness—most commonly made of reinforced concrete). The article discusses laboratory comparison tests of two types of foundations of a buried flexible structure—a rigid (concrete) and flexible foundation (made as corrugated steel plates) and their results.
