Abstract

A calculated and experimental method was developed for predicting irreversible settlements of foundations during the operation of a structure, taking into account the shakability of the construction site. This article suggests a way of processing seismological information about recurrence not only of the maximum earthquake for which the structure is designed, but also more likely actions of a lesser level. A procedure is set forth for vibrodynamic soil tests to obtain the original matrix of experimental data about formation of residual deformations within the bounds of compressed strata of the base as a result of application of dynamic actions on different combinations of a static state of stress. These data are used to calculate seismic settlements of the foundation, taking into account the probability of seismic events of different levels during the standard time of the object's operation.
