Experimental Verification of New Methodology for Calculating of the Flexible Ferroconcrete Foundation of the First Limit State

Abstract

The article discusses the problem of discrepancy of
 normative methods for calculating the bearing capacity of foundations
 experimental data. The authors proposed a new method
 of calculation of flexible ferroconcrete foundation, which can
 eliminate a large gap between the calculated and experimental
 data. The article describes an experiment on a sandy base, and
 its results, confirming the new methodology. The use of bilinear
 limit line τ (σ) for the calculation of the strength characteristics
 of dense sandy ground is describes.
