BEARING CAPACITY CALCULATION OF THE BASES OF STRIP FOUNDATIONS, COMBINED BY SHELLS OR MEMBRANES
The question about allowable loading of the ground bad under different zones of foundationarises at research of interaction strip foundations, combined cylindrical depressed shells or membranes. As a rule, first part of the question touches on the acceptance fixing of the soil design resistance, which refers to the calculations by the second group of limit States on the action of normative loads. The second part of the question touches on the calculation of the bearing capacity on the action of design loads. According to the norms, the calculation of the bearing capacity for the studied foundations is actual, because the field of applicationof this foundations propagatesto the baseformed by slowly-compacted moist groundswith the degree of water saturation Sr> 0,85 and consolidation rate cv< 10 cm2/year. Algorithm of the bearing capacity calculation of strip foundations, combined cylindrical depressed shells or membranes used in difficult engineering-geological conditions (on soft soils)are presented in the article.
