Bearing Capacity on Drained Subsoil One of the following approaches is avail drained conditions are assumed: ble to assess the bearing capacity of a foundation i All approaches incorporate coefficients due to Brinch - Hansen (see standard analysis) to account for inclined ground surface and inclined footing bottom. Assuming drained conditions during construction the soil below spread footing deforms including both shear and volumetric deformations. In such a case the strength of soil is assumed in terms of effective values of the angle of internal friction ger and the effective cohesion c¢y. It is also assumed that there is an effective stress in the soil equal to the total stress (consolidated state). Effective parameters yef, cef represent the peak strength parameters. ‘Owing to the fact that the choice of drained conditions depends on a number of factors (rate of load, soil permeability, degree of saturations and degree of overconsolidation) it is the designer's responsibility to decide, depending on the actual problem being solved, if the effective parameters should be used.

When the structure is completed the soll experiences both primary and secondary consolidation accompanied by volumetric changes. The influence of neutral stress appears in the reduction of soil strength. The strength of soil is then presented in terms of total values of the angle of internal friction ,, and the total cohesion c,, (these parameters can be considered as the minimal ones). Depending on the degree of consolidation the value of the total angle of internal friction yx ranges from 0 to ge’, the total cohesion cy is greater than cef. ‘Owing to the fact that the choice of undrained conditions depends on a number of factors (rate of load, soil permeability, degree of saturations and degree of overconsolidation) it is the designer's responsibility to decide, depending on the actual problem being solved, if the effective parameters should be used. Nevertheless, the total parameters are generally used for fine-grained soil Standard Analy: ‘The following formula is used by default: Ry= (e+ Qe, 5,d,.i-b, +4 with dimensionless coefficients: ~ total cohesion of soll + width of foundation = length of foundation depth of foundation = angle of deviation of the resultant force from the vertical direction = slope of footing bottom from horizontal direction - overburden pressure at the level of foundation base: se earee Horizontal Bearing Capacity of Foundation The foundation horizontal bearing capacity is verified according to the theory of limit states using the following inequallty: H< kn Tat or based on the factor of safety as: R —2 column axis offset from the footing center If in some points the stress becomes negative, the program continues with adjusted dimensions 6+! while excluding tension from the analysis. Before computing the stress distribution due to surcharge the stress in the footing bottom is reduced by the geostatic stress in the following way: Oo) = MAC 5, — For, sp;0) There are three options in the program to specify the geostatic stress in the footing bottom: ‘+ From the original ground It is therefore considered, whether the footing bottom in the ‘open pit measured from the original ground Is free of stress for the time less than needed for soil bulking and subsequent loss of stress in the subsoi + From the finished grade The same assumptions as above apply. + Not considered at Overall Settlement and Rotation of Foundation ‘The foundation settlement is substantially influenced by the overall stiffness of the system represented by foundation structure and foundation soil given by: p= Pease o Exe at where: Ehaic _- Modulus of elasticity of footing t foundation thickness Ede, ay ‘weighted average of the deformation modulus up to depth of influence U footing dimension in the direction of searched stiffness For k> 1 the foundation is assumed to be rigid and as a representative point for the determination of its settlement is assumed the characteristic point (distant by 0.37 times the foundation dimension from its axis). For k< 1 the foundation structure Is assumed to be compliant and as a representative point for the determination of foundation settlement is assumed the foundation center point. ‘The foundation rotation is determined from the difference of settlements of center and of Individual edges. rotation = (tan*1000) cr= arctan [de] b st Rotation of spread footing - principle calculation Influence of Foundation Depth and Incompressible Subsoi When computing settlement it is possible to account for the influence of foundation depth by introducing the reduction coefficient xy: for strip footing: d K-14 0,6Lareig— for spread footing: Kn 14 038.arcig{ where 4 ~ depth of footing bottom =~ depth under footing bottom Influence of incompressible layer is introduced into the analysis by the reduction coefficient x2: where: zie - depth of rigid base under footing bottom =~ depth under footing bottom Incorporating the above coefficients allows transformation of the vertical component of stress az such that the actual depth is replaced by a substitute value -- given by’ Zp = Ky Ky.Z wher 1 ~ Coefficient of footing bottom depth 2 - Coefficient of rigid base =~ depth under footing bottom.
