Bearing Capacity of Soil Base and Settlement of Foundations of Finite Width

Soil Mechanics and Foundation Engineering Aims and scope

The analytical solution of the problem of the bearing capacity of the soil base and the foundation settlement of a limited width is presented, considering the soil’s own weight and residual stresses (in the presence of over-compacted soils). The Flamant’s solutions (plane problem) are used for the stress state calculation. The Hencky’s equations are used to determine the stress − strain relationships and the influence of the average stress on the shear and the volume strain modulus.
