Soil Mechanics and Foundation Engineering Aims and scope

Abstract

Results are presented for research, on the basis of which computational models are proposed for a “building/loess-bed” system with no conventional cone of wetting and slump-type settlement of the soil for the two-stage design of buildings with bearing walls; this appreciably simplifies the computational model previously proposed by the author.
