Experimental Investigation and Analysis of the Settlement Funnel in Beds Supporting Different Types of Foundations

  • Published:
Soil Mechanics and Foundation Engineering Aims and scope

Abstract

A solution is given for determination of the stresses in a foundation bed, which is represented by a linearly deformable half space and intended for foundations with circular or square lower surfaces extending beyond the limits of the loaded area. Experimental data on the settlement funnel in homogeneous and layered beds are presented. The dependence of the spread of the settlement funnel on the dimensions of the plate is established.
