Conceptual Approach to Limiting-State Design of Foundation Beds for Structures

Soil Mechanics and Foundation Engineering Aims and scope

Abstract

The need for use of nonlinear methods for analysis of bed settlements is demonstrated, where use of linear methods of the criteria p ≤ R results in an unfounded additional increase in pu. Proceeding from the class of structures, it is recommended to determine the settlements using either special numerical solutions based on rigorous theories of plasticity, or closed time-tested engineering solutions with standard soil tests.
