Abstract
This paper addresses new results of investigation of laws governing the development of soil deformations and, among other things, the change, and, as a rule, the increase in the stress state in a soil mass during construction, the influence exerted by the filling and the cutting of soils during the grading of sites on the nonuniformity of their slump-type settlements, additional settlements of the soils underlying the stratum prone to slump-type settlement when loads on these soils are increased, the effect of different factors on the size of the stratum prone to slump-type settlement, and residual proneness of soils to slump-type settlement when the ground water table rises. Proposals are given for consideration of these results during geological-engineering surveys, design, and construction of buildings and structures on soils prone to slump-type settlement.
