 Summary:
 In normal soil conditions, building foundation works represent approximately 15to 18 percent from the total costs and from 12 to 15 percent from the total labour costs. In difficult foundation soils (reduced mechanical resistances) the infrastructure works may exceed 50 percent from the total costs of the investment, thus the chosen foundation system is important from the cost point of view. In the present paper are presented two technical solutions for soil improvement: through piles and through soil injection.
