Abstract
To provide for fail-safe construction when heavy loads are applied to foundations (pressure of up to 1.0 MPa and more), beds formed from clayey soils should be analyzed with respect to bearing capacity (first limiting state) without restricting ourselves to special cases stipulated in the Construction Rules and Regulations. As a basis of analysis of the bearing capacity of beds, it is proposed to adopt a computational scheme developed by the author where there is no uplift of soil, and the latter is consolidated downward in conformity with the author’s new concept concerning the failure of soil in a bed. Basic notions of the paper were presented at the Gersevanov Lectures on 14 March 2006.
