“…From the graph it is observed that, as the thickness of the slab increases, the variations of the stresses decrease, evidenced by the reduction in the curvature, which shows the stiffness contribution of the slab with the action of the load, supported every time in better foundation resistance. It is also observed that from 350 MPa, the soil tends to have less stress influence, corroborating what was expressed by authors and institutions (Cajka, Burkovic, Buchta, & Fojtik, 2014;PCA, 1984;Yoder & Witczak, 1975), who point out that improvements of the support layer do not have a structural purpose, these layers are placed to reduce the effect of erosion and the rise of fine materials to the surface (pumping). However, the improvement of the properties of the foundation, contributes slightly to improve the behavior of the system, which is a factor to be taken into account in the obtaining of the work stresses, especially when the slab is thin.…”
