Calculation of bed settlement by the method of layer-by-layer summation in accordance with Building Code 51-101-2004 and the method of integration

Abstract

In many instances, bed deformations are determined in accordance with a computational diagram in the form of a linearly deformable half space. Here, the depth H c of the compressible stratum is limited, and the calculation is performed by the method of layer-by-layer summation. When this method is employed, however, the following drawbacks have been reported:− when accounting for the effect of neighboring foundations, a multitude of intermediate writings and calculations is required, and the labor intensity of the calculations is increased by 6-10 times [1]
