Introduction to the work

Relevance of the dissertation topic. The bearing capacity of the base of a slotted foundation consists of the bearing capacity along its base and along its side surface. In addition to the resistance forces caused by internal friction and adhesion of the soil, additional resistance forces act along the lateral surface and along the base of the foundation, arising due to: penetration of the water-colloidal cement mortar deep into the soil and its subsequent hardening with the formation of a thin soil-cement layer with crystalline bonds; expansion of concrete containing expansive Portland cement during hardening. The need to take these forces into account makes it necessary to improve methods for calculating the bearing capacity of slotted foundation foundations relevant .

Features of the technology of construction, operation and calculation of the bearing capacity of slotted foundations in cohesive soils

Typically, the development of pits and trenches for columnar and strip prefabricated foundations is carried out by an excavator, followed by manual cleaning of the bottom and side surfaces. Therefore, for these foundations, the calculated payload is transferred to the soil foundation only through their base. The soil resistance of the backfill is not taken into account in the calculation.

On the contrary, in soils of natural composition, especially low-moisture cohesive soils, the use of monolithic slot foundations with a developed lateral working surface is very promising. When constructing such foundations, there is no need to backfill trenches and pits, which allows for the occurrence of significant friction and adhesion forces between the soil mass, which is not possible when constructing conventional foundations in open pits.

High efficiency of application is shown by slotted foundations, which are one or a system of parallel narrow cracks in the ground, filled in space with concrete, which are combined by a grillage into a common foundation to absorb the load from the above-ground part of the building. The construction of slots can be carried out by cutting them with a drill or a slot cutter, and in the case of a large depth of the slot foundation, it can be constructed using the “wall in soil” method.

The external load is transmitted to the soil base along the side surface of the slotted foundation, along the base and along the base of the grillage slab, if any.

In the case of combining two or more slotted foundations into a single foundation, the soil mass enclosed between the walls is also included in the work, due to which the load is transmitted in a plane at the level of the lower ends of the walls.

The bearing capacity of such a foundation depends significantly on the distance between the walls. In this case, the soil enclosed between the walls, the walls themselves and the grillage together can be considered as a concrete-soil foundation on a natural foundation, the height of which is equal to the height of the walls. If any part of the external load is transmitted by the outer walls, then this circumstance leads to an increase in the width of the conventional concrete-soil foundation that transfers the loads to the foundation soils.

Particular attention should be paid to the issue of load transfer along the side surface of an isolated slot foundation. The work states that slotted foundations based on the bearing capacity of the foundation soils should be calculated based on the expression N Fdlyk, (1.1) where: Fd is the bearing capacity of the foundation soil; y =1.2, if the bearing capacity of the foundation is determined by the results of field tests in accordance with GOST and y =1.4, if the bearing capacity is determined by calculation; N is the design load transferred to the foundation, kN. The bearing capacity of a slotted foundation (SF) of rectangular cross-section, operating on a central axial compressive load and resting on a compressible base, if its lateral surface intersects several parallel layers of foundation soil, can be determined by the formula: where: ус=1 - condition coefficient foundation work; usg - coefficient of working conditions of the pound under the base of the foundation, taking the value 1.0; 0.9; 0.4 when developing a trench dry with a backhoe bucket, when developing a trench with a flat bucket bucket dry or under a clay solution with removal of sludge from the bottom of the trench, and when developing a trench with a flat paddle bucket under a clay solution without removing sludge from the bottom of the trench, respectively; R is the calculated resistance of a pound under the base of the foundation, (kPa), taken according to table No. 3.1 (p. 63); A - area of ​​the foundation base, (m); U - foundation perimeter, (m); yct is the coefficient of operating conditions of the pound along the side surface of the foundation, taking the value 0.8; 0.7 and 0.6 when concreting a trench dry in loams, clays and when concreting a trench under the protection of a clay solution for all soils, respectively, or is specified experimentally; /I - the calculated resistance of the ith layer of pound on the side surface of the slotted foundation, (kPa), taken according to table No. 3.2 (p. 63), but not more than bOkPa; h\ is the thickness of the i-th pound layer in contact with the side surface of the slot foundation, (m).

Similar formulas and tables are given in documents developed at the NIIOSP named after. N.M. Gersevanova. Formula (1.2) itself looks convincing and its use is quite logical. From this formula it is clear that the payload transmitted by the slotted foundation to the foundation is divided into two parts: the first part is transmitted through the base of the foundation, and the second through its side surface. Special and regulatory literature provides data on the fractional distribution of the bearing capacity of slotted foundations along their base and side surface.

Computer modeling of the process of origin and development of areas of plastic deformation in the foundation under the bottom of a slotted foundation

Returning to consideration of Fig. 2.6, we see that the proposed technique gives adequate results: the isolines of normal az and ax stresses at some distance from the cutout become parallel to the day surface of the soil massif; the ratio of the numerical values ​​of these stresses at the corresponding points, approximately, as it should be, is equal to the value of the coefficient of lateral soil pressure (aJoz ", =0.75); the isolines of tangential stresses tgx have the classic “butterfly” shape, their numerical values ​​at points lying on the symmetry axis of the design scheme are equal to zero.

Computer modeling of the process of origin and development of areas of plastic deformation in the foundation under the bottom of a slotted foundation

Before the start of the study, numerous literary sources were reviewed, in particular, works, and according to the data presented in them, it was established that the depth of laying slot foundations can vary in the range of 2m h 43m, and the most characteristic values ​​​​of the ratio of the width of the slot foundation to the depth of its laying are 2Mz = 0.03;0.13;0.27;0.4.

According to the data presented in the first chapter of the dissertation, which are based on the results of an analysis of regulatory documentation and literary sources, the strength characteristics of cohesive soil vary within the following limits: angle of internal friction p = kPa.

Taking these circumstances into account, it turned out that the value of the reduced connectivity pressure, calculated by the formula from - C(yhtg(p) \ varies in the interval ссв = .

In order for the mapping function (2.5) to provide a mathematical model of the foundation of a slotted foundation with a wide range of numerical values ​​for the ratio of the width of the foundation to its depth 2b/h, we will use the numerical values ​​of the coefficients of the mapping function (2.6) given in Table No. 2.5.

Calculations to determine the value of the design resistance of the base of a slotted foundation were performed using computer programs ASV32 and “Stability. (Stress-strain state)" developed at the Volgograd State

Areas of plastic deformation at the base of a slot foundation during inception (a), development (b) and at the moment of reaching the maximum permissible load (closing of the maximum permissible load) (c) University of Architecture and Civil Engineering, for all possible combinations of numerical values ​​of variable design parameters 2b/h, osv and f. In Fig. 2.10 shows, as an example, areas of plastic deformations at the base of a slotted foundation during their initiation, development, and at the moment of reaching the maximum permissible load (closing of the maximum permissible load).

In Fig. 2.11 shows, as the most obvious, graphical dependencies of the form AZ=J, AZe.

According to the limits adopted in Chapter I for changing the numerical values ​​of variable design parameters, in order to achieve the goal set in the dissertation work, it is necessary to perform 1024 computational operations to determine the size of areas of plastic deformation at the base of a double-slot foundation.

The result of this chapter should be an engineering method for calculating the bearing capacity of a homogeneous base of a double-slot foundation, developed on the basis of the results of an analysis of its stress state and the process of formation and development of areas of plastic deformation in the active zone of the foundation.

Below in Fig. 3.3 3.5 pictures of dimensionless isolines (in fractions of y/g) of three stress components az are presented; ax and tzx in a homogeneous base of double-slot foundations of various widths (2/ =0.8/g; 0.4/?; 0), having the same depth, at the moment of closure of plastic deformation areas, that is, at the moment the intensity of the external uniformly distributed load of its maximum permissible value (or at the moment of loss of stability of the base). Note that in the latter case, at L=0 (see Fig. 3.2), the double-slot foundation degenerates into a single-slot (or simply slot foundation) of double width.

Experimental determination of the first critical load for the slot foundation model

The external dimensions of the form are 30x30 cm, and its width is 3.4 cm. Internal dimensions are 28x28 cm and 2 cm, respectively. The form is made of plexiglass 7mm thick, and its elements are fastened together with 13 metal bolts. Inserts-stamps made of organic glass, representing 105 models of slotted foundations, are made with a height of 15 cm, a width of 1.2 cm and a thickness of 2 cm, i.e. the last size is equal to the thickness of the model being manufactured. The models were formed with a variable cutting depth so that it was possible to simulate a slot foundation with a ratio of its width to the depth of foundation 2Mz3=0,l; 0.15; 0.2; 0.25 and 0.3.

The part of the insert-stamp located above the surface of the model serves to support the DOSM-3-1 dynamometer, which measures the magnitude of the force transmitted to the base model, created by a vertically located screw.

Before the experiment, the entire insert-stamp was carefully lubricated with technical petroleum jelly to eliminate the influence of friction forces.

The essence of the experiment was as follows.

From gelatin-gel CS with gelatin weight concentration equal to 15%, 30% and 45%, four batches of five models of slotted foundation bases were sequentially produced (Fig. 4.2a), with a width ratio of 2&/A3=0.l;0.15 ; 0.2; and 0.3.

Then these models were loaded through the stamp insert with a vertical, evenly distributed load until tiny cracks began to be clearly visible at the lower edges of the stamp insert - a sign of the beginning of destruction (Fig. 4.4). The corresponding load values ​​were recorded and taken as the value at which limit state areas begin to form in the material of the slot foundation model, i.e. for the value of the first critical load.

The arithmetic mean of five (for each batch of models with the same value of 2b/h3) value q3 was taken as the result of the experiment for this batch. Five such experimental values ​​were obtained; they are presented in table No. 4.2.

The same table shows the values ​​of the corresponding loads obtained on the basis of calculations performed using the computer program “Stability. Stress-strain state”, developed at VolgGASU. Note that all calculations were carried out with a lateral pressure coefficient of pound = 0.75, which is the average value for clay soils.

Graphic interpretation of experimental and theoretical data in the form of dependencies like q3=f and the finite element method.

Comparing the areas of plastic deformations constructed on the basis of the calculation results (Fig. 4.6) for the moment of their initiation, and the OPD for this case under consideration, shown in Fig. 4.6c, we see their practical identity. opd- Fig. 4.6. Areas of plastic deformation at the base of the slot foundation model, constructed from stresses calculated using MTFKP (a; b) and using the finite element method (c)

Consequently, it can be argued that the obtained experimental data coincide with the data obtained by calculation with a degree of accuracy sufficient for engineering practice. This gives reason to believe that the engineering method for calculating the bearing capacity of a slotted foundation developed at VolgGASU can be recommended for practical use.

1. The bearing capacity of a slotted foundation on the ground is determined by the sum of the bearing capacity on the side surface and its base. The first term is determined by the physical and mechanical properties of the enclosing soil mass, the hydro-geological conditions of the construction site, the geometric dimensions of the foundation, the physical and chemical properties of concrete, the degree of penetration of the colloidal water-cement solution into the surface layers of the soil of the pit (trench) slopes, the technology of foundation construction, and so on. The second term depends on the shape and size of the sole and the FMSG. Therefore, it is possible to determine the bearing capacity along the base of the foundation based on the analysis of the stress-strain state of the soil mass using FEM and MTFKP, and the bearing capacity along the lateral surface - through experimental studies directly at the construction site.

2. Based on the methods of the theory of functions of a complex variable, graphical dependencies and corresponding analytical approximations are obtained, which make it possible to determine the bearing capacity along the base of a slotted foundation for all possible combinations of numerical values ​​of the design parameters used in the dissertation work. These results formed a database of a computer calculator program that allows you to automate the process of calculating the part of the bearing capacity attributable to the base of the foundation.

3. A device has been developed and patented that allows, in real engineering-geological conditions of a specific construction site, to determine the maximum values ​​of the specific friction and adhesion forces acting on the lateral surface of monolithic foundations manufactured without formwork against the soil.

We calculate the stresses acting along the base of the foundation using formulas (4.1) – (4.3). We present the calculations in tabular form (Table 1).

In table 1 γ f = 1.1 – safety factor for load to wall weight;

γ f = 1.2 – the same, to the active soil pressure.

Calculation of wall stability against overturning and shifting along the base of the foundation

The calculation of stability against capsizing is carried out in accordance with formula (4.7). We calculate the holding and overturning moments in tabular form (Table 2).

Design example

State educational institution of higher professional education

Let us consider, as an example, the calculation of an eccentrically loaded free-standing foundation (see diagram with the main accepted notations).

All forces acting along the edge of the foundation are reduced to three components in the plane of the base of the foundation N, T, M.

Calculation actions are performed in the following sequence:

1. We determine the components N, T, M, which can be written in the most general case as:

2. Having determined the dimensions of the foundation, as for a centrally loaded foundation - (I approximation), and knowing its area - A, we find its edge stresses P max, min. (We assume that the foundation is stable for shear).

From the resistance of materials for structures experiencing compression with bending it is known that:

For a rectangular foundation, the sole can be written:

Then, substituting the accepted notation into the strength of strength formula, we obtain:

Where ℓ is the larger size of the foundation (the side of the foundation in the plane of which the moment acts).

- based on the calculation data, it is not difficult to construct diagrams of contact stresses under the base of the foundation, which are generally presented in the diagram.

According to SNiP, restrictions have been introduced on the values ​​of edge stresses:

  1. P min / P max ≥ 0.25 - in the presence of a crane load.
  2. P min / P max ≥ 0 - for all foundations, i.e. tearing off the sole is unacceptable.

In graphical form, these stress restrictions under the base of an eccentrically loaded foundation (1, 2) do not allow the use of the last two diagrams of contact stresses shown in the diagram. In such cases, a recalculation of the foundation with a change in its dimensions is required.

It should be noted that R is determined based on the condition of development of plastic deformation zones on both sides of the foundation, while in the presence of eccentricity (e), plastic deformations will form on one side. Therefore, a third limitation is introduced:

  1. P max ≤1.2R - while P av ≤ R.

If the base of the foundation is torn off, i.e. Р min< 0, то такие условия работы основания не допустимы (см. нижний рисунок). В этом случае рекомендуется уменьшить эксцентриситет методом проектирования несимметричного фундамента (смещение подошвы фундамента).

The specific gravity of soils lying below the groundwater level, but above the aquitard, should be taken taking into account the weighing effect of water according to formula (11).

When determining szg in the waterproof layer, the pressure of the water column located above the depth under consideration should be taken into account (see paragraph 3.6).

The lower boundary of the compressible thickness of the base is taken at a depth z= Hc, where the condition is satisfied szр = k× szg(Here szр– additional vertical stress at a vertical depth passing through the center of the foundation base; szg– vertical stress from the soil’s own weight), where k= 0.2 for foundations with b£5m and k= 0.5 for foundations with b> 20 m (at intermediate values k determined by interpolation).

Additional vertical stresses szp,d, kPa, at depth z from the base of the foundation along a vertical line passing through the center of the base of the foundation in question from the pressure along the base of the adjacent foundation are determined by the algebraic summation of stresses szp,cj, kPa, at the corner points of fictitious foundations (Figure 16) according to the formula

Example 3. Determine the settlement of a free-standing shallow foundation. The engineering geological section is shown in Figure 17. Foundation dimensions: height hf= 3 m; sole b´ l= 3´3.6 m. Pressure along the base of the foundation pII= 173.2 kPa. Soil characteristics:

Layer - gII 1 = 19 kN/m3; E= 9000 kPa;

Layer - gII 2 = 19.6 kN/m3; gs= 26.6 kN/m3; e = 0,661; E= 14000 kPa;

Layer - gII 3 = 19.1 kN/m3; E= 18000 kPa.

Solution. The settlement of a free-standing shallow foundation is determined by formula (31).

Because the foundation depth is less than 5 m, the second term in the formula is not taken into account.

With the width of the foundation base b£ 5 m and the absence of soil layers with E < 5 МПа суммирование проводится до тех пор, пока szр will not become less than 0.2× szg.

The foundation cuts through only one layer of soil - sandy loam (Figure 17), therefore the average calculated value of the specific gravity of the soils lying above the base is also equal to the actual specific gravity of the sandy loam 19 kN/m3.

We find szg, 0 = dn= 19×3.1 = 58.9 kPa; h= l/b= 3.6/3 =1.2; 0.4× b= 0.4×3 = 1.2 m. We divide the base into layers no more than 0.4× thick b. The thickness of the soil layers located under the base of the foundation allows the foundation to be divided into layers 1.2 m thick.

Determination of stresses in soil masses

Stresses in soil masses that serve as a foundation, medium or material for a structure arise under the influence of external loads and the soil’s own weight.

Main tasks of stress calculation:

Distribution of stresses along the base of foundations and structures, as well as along the surface of interaction of structures with soil masses, often called contact stresses;

Distribution of stresses in the soil mass due to action local load, corresponding to contact stresses;

Distribution of stresses in a soil mass due to the action of its own weight, often called natural pressure.

3.1. Determination of contact stresses along the base of a structure

When foundations and structures interact with soils, foundations appear on the contact surface. contact stress.

The nature of the distribution of contact stresses depends on the rigidity, shape and size of the foundation or structure and on the rigidity (compliance) of the foundation soils.

3.1.1 Classification of foundations and structures by rigidity

There are three cases that reflect the ability of the structure and the foundation to jointly deform:

Absolutely rigid structures, when the deformability of the structure is negligible compared to the deformability of the base and when determining contact stresses the structure can be considered as non-deformable;

Absolutely flexible structures, when the deformability of the structure is so great that it freely follows the deformations of the base;

Structures of finite rigidity, when the deformability of the structure is commensurate with the deformability of the base; in this case, they are deformed together, which causes a redistribution of contact stresses.

A criterion for assessing the rigidity of a structure can be the flexibility indicator according to M. I. Gorbunov-Posadov

Where And - deformation modules of the base soil and structural material; And – length and thickness of the structure.

3.1.2. Model of local elastic deformations and elastic half-space

When determining contact stresses, an important role is played by the choice of the calculation model of the foundation and the method for solving the contact problem. The following foundation models are most widespread in engineering practice:

Model of elastic deformations;

Elastic half-space model.

Model of local elastic deformations.

According to this model, the reactive stress at each point of the contact surface is directly proportional to the settlement of the base surface at the same point, and there is no settlement of the base surface outside the dimensions of the foundation (Fig. 3.1.a.):

Where – proportionality coefficient¸ often called bed coefficient, Pa/m.

Elastic half-space model.

In this case, the soil surface settles both within the loading area and beyond, and the curvature of the deflection depends on the mechanical properties of the soil and the thickness of the compressible thickness at the base (Fig. 3.1.b.):

where is the base stiffness coefficient, – coordinate of the surface point at which the settlement is determined; - coordinate of the force application point ; – integration constant.

3.1.3. The influence of foundation rigidity on the distribution of contact stresses

Theoretically, the diagram of contact stresses under a rigid foundation has a saddle-shaped appearance with infinitely large stress values ​​at the edges. However, due to plastic deformations of the soil, in reality the contact stresses are characterized by a flatter curve and at the edge of the foundation reaches values ​​​​corresponding to the maximum bearing capacity of the soil (dotted curve in Fig. 3.2.a.)

A change in the flexibility index significantly affects the change in the nature of the contact stress diagram. In Fig. 3.2.b. contact diagrams are presented for the case of a plane problem when the flexibility index t changes from 0 (absolutely rigid foundation) to 5.

3.2. Distribution of stresses in soil foundations due to the soil’s own weight

Vertical stresses from the soil’s own weight at depth z from the surface are determined by the formula:

and the diagram of natural stresses will look like a triangle (Fig. 3.3.a)

In case of heterogeneous bedding with horizontal layers, this diagram will already be limited by the broken line Oabv, where the slope of each segment within the thickness of the layer is determined by the value of the specific gravity of the soil of this layer (Fig. 3.3.b).

Bedding heterogeneity can be caused not only by the presence of layers with different characteristics, but also by the presence of groundwater levels within the soil thickness (WL in Fig. 3.3.c). In this case, one should take into account the decrease in the specific gravity of the soil due to the suspended effect of water on mineral particles:

where is the specific gravity of soil in suspension; - specific gravity of soil particles; - specific gravity of water, taken equal to 10 kN/m3; – coefficient of soil porosity.

3. 3. Determination of stresses in a soil mass due to the action of local load on its surface

The distribution of stresses in the foundation depends on the shape of the foundation in plan. In construction, strip, rectangular and round foundations are most widespread. Thus, the main practical significance is the calculation of stresses for the cases of plane, spatial and axisymmetric problems.

The stresses in the foundation are determined by methods of elasticity theory. In this case, the base is considered as an elastic half-space, endlessly extending in all directions from the horizontal loading surface.

3.3.1. The problem of the action of a vertical concentrated force

The solution to the problem of the action of a vertical concentrated force applied to the surface of an elastic half-space, obtained in 1885 by J. Boussinesq, makes it possible to determine all components of stress and strain at any point in the half-space due to the action of the force (Fig. 3.4.a).

Vertical stresses are determined by the formula:

Using the superposition principle, we can determine the value of the vertical compressive stress at the point under the action of several concentrated forces applied on the surface (Fig. 3.4.b):

In 1892, Flamand obtained a solution for a vertical concentrated force under the conditions of a plane problem (Fig. 3.4.c):

; ; , where (3.8)

Knowing the law of load distribution on the surface within the loading contour, it is possible, by integrating expression (3.6) within this contour, to determine the stress values ​​at any point of the base for the case of axisymmetric and spatial load (Fig. 3.5), and by integrating expression (3.8) - for the case of flat load.

3.3.2. Flat problem. Action of a uniformly distributed load

Scheme for calculating stresses in the foundation in the case of a plane problem under the action of a uniformly distributed load of intensity shown in Fig. 3.6.a.

Exact expressions for determining the stress components at any point in the elastic half-space were obtained by G.V. Kolosov in the form:

where, are influence coefficients depending on dimensionless parameters and ; and – coordinate points at which stresses are determined; – width of the loading strip.

In Fig. 3.7. a-c are shown in the form of isolines, the stress distribution in the soil mass for the case of a flat problem.

In some cases, when analyzing the stressed state of a foundation, it is more convenient to use principal stresses. Then the values ​​of the principal stresses at any point of the elastic half-space under the action of a uniformly distributed strip load can be determined using the formulas of I. H. Mitchell:

where is the visibility angle formed by the rays emanating from a given point to the edges of the loaded strip (Fig. 3.6.b).

3.3.3. Spatial task. Action of a uniformly distributed load

In 1935, A. Love obtained the values ​​of vertical compressive stresses at any point of the base from the action of a load of intensity , evenly distributed over the area of ​​a rectangle of size.

Of practical interest are the stress components related to the vertical drawn through the corner point this rectangle, and acting vertically passing through its center (Fig. 3.8.).

Using influence coefficients we can write:

where - and - are, respectively, influence coefficients for angular and central stresses, depending on the aspect ratio of the loaded rectangle and the relative depth of the point at which the stresses are determined.

There is a certain relationship between the values ​​and.

Then it turns out to be convenient to express formulas (3.11) through the general influence coefficient and write them in the form:

The coefficient depends on dimensionless parameters and: , (when determining the angular stress), (when determining the stress under the center of the rectangle).

3.3.4. Corner point method

The corner point method allows you to determine compressive stresses in the base along a vertical line passing through any point on the surface. There are three possible solutions (Fig. 3.9.).

Let the vertical pass through the point , lying on the contour of the rectangle. Dividing this rectangle into two so that the point M was the angular stress for each of them, the stresses can be represented as the sum of the angular stresses of rectangles I and II, i.e.

If the point lies inside the contour of the rectangle, then it should be divided into four parts so that this point is the corner point for each component rectangle. Then:

Finally, if the point lies outside the contour of the loaded rectangle, then it must be completed so that this point again turns out to be a corner point.

3.3.5. Influence of the shape and area of ​​the foundation in plan

In Fig. 3.10. Diagrams of normal stresses were constructed along the vertical axis passing through the center of the square foundation at (curve 1), strip foundation (curve 2), and also with width (curve 3).

In the case of a spatial problem (curve 1), stresses decay with depth much faster than for a plane problem (curve 2). An increase in the width, and, consequently, the area of ​​the foundation (curve 3) leads to an even slower attenuation of stresses with depth.

It is not possible to determine the actual stress state of foundation soils using modern survey methods. In most cases, they are limited to calculating vertical stresses arising from the weight of the overlying soil layers. The diagram of these stresses along the depth of a homogeneous soil layer will look like a triangle. With layered bedding, the diagram is limited by a broken line, as shown in Fig. 9 (line abсde).

At depth z, the vertical stress will be equal to:

where γ0i is the volumetric weight of the soil of the i-th layer in t/m3; hi is the thickness of the i-th layer in m; n is the number of heterogeneous layers by volumetric weight within the considered depth z. The volumetric weight of permeable soils lying below the groundwater level is taken taking into account the weighing effect of water:

here γу is the specific gravity of solid soil particles in t/m3; ε is the porosity coefficient of natural soil.

With monolithic, practically waterproof clays and loams, in cases where they are underlain by a layer of permeable soil that has groundwater with a piezometric level below the groundwater level of the upper layers, the weighing effect of water is not taken into account. If in the soil bedding shown in Fig. 9, the fourth layer was a monolithic dense clay and in the underlying aquifer the groundwater would have a piezometric level below the groundwater level of the upper layer, then the surface of the clay layer would be an aquifer, receiving pressure from the water layer. In this case, the diagram of vertical stresses would be represented by a broken line abcdmn, as shown in Fig. 9 dotted line.

It should be noted that under the influence of stresses from the own weight of the natural soil, the deformations of the foundation (with the exception of freshly poured embankments) are considered to have long since died out. With a large thickness of water-saturated, highly compressible soils that exhibit creep, sometimes one has to reckon with incomplete filtration consolidation and creep consolidation. In this case, the load from the embankment cannot be considered as the load from the soil’s own weight.

The main condition that must be met when designing foundations is:

where: P - average pressure under the base of the foundation of the accepted dimensions

where: - design load on the edge of the foundation in a given section, kN/m;

Foundation weight per 1 running meter, kN/m;

Weight of soil on foundation ledges, kN/m;

b - width of the foundation base, m;

R - calculated soil resistance under the base of the foundation, kPa

Weight of foundation blocks per 1 running meter, kN/m;

Weight of brickwork per 1 linear meter, kN/m;

where: - weight of the soil on 1 ledge (without concrete), kN/m;

Weight of soil on the 2nd ledge (with concrete), kN/m;

where: - width of the soil on the ledge, m;

Height of soil on the ledge, m;

g"II - averaged value of the specific gravity of the soil lying above the base of the foundation;

where gсf =22 kN/m.
