RESEARCH OF THE “FLOATING” BASE METHOD FOR SEDIMENTATION ON THE MODEL OF THE FOUNDATION PLATE
In the article, the authors propose the application of a one-dimensional problem of the theory of compression compaction of soils for the calculation of sediments of Foundation slabs of large area. The authors analyzed the existing methods for determining the depth of the compressible thickness. The author suggests an original technique to determine the depth of compressible strata and settling of the Foundation. A test bench (tray) was developed and a laboratory test was performed. The results of an experimental study of the depth of compressible thickness under slab foundations are presented. The analysis of experimental data is made. The method of calculation of compressible thickness depth, previously proposed by the authors, is confirmed.
