Conclusions
1. The process of the formation of the stress-strain state of a saturated bed and its bearing capacity depend heavily on the pore pressure that develops in the bed.
2. The greater the loading rate and initial degree of saturation of the soil, the greater the pore pressure in the bed and the lower its bearing capacity. On loading a foundation located on an unsaturated bed, limiting-load values obtained from Berezantsev's analytical relationship and from numerical computation are close to one another.
