The Bearing Capacity of Building Foundations describes the different
ways of ultimate bearing capacity determination of building foundations. This four-chapter book considers the effect of a
horizontal force acting on a foundation. It also examines a situation
where, beneath the foundation level in the zone of influence of the
foundation there are two layers of soil, including the case where the
second, lower layer is formed by incompressible rock. A chapter explores
the case where the subgrade consists of a number of heterogeneous
strata of soil. The remaining chapters deal with the determination of
the permissible load of a foundation and the safety factor, and also the
contact stress in the foundation line, since this has a great influence
on the dimensioning of foundation slabs. This book will prove useful to practicing civil engineers.
