Abstract

Many different methods for calculation of the settlement of shallow foundations on coarse soil is used in engineering practice. In all these methods, the greatest impact on the calculated settlements have applied loads, adopted values of soil parameters and foundation width. It is common that in thes e calculations adopt soil bearing capacity that is significantly lower than actual, so the calculate d settlement of the soil is significantly larger than the actual, which results in a conservative foundation design. A comparative analysis of the impact of the a dopted values of soil parameters and applied calculation methods on the calculated settlements was done by comparing the settlements calculated by varying these in fluences, with those measured during experiment within the research project "T heoretical and experimental analysis of interaction of shallow reinforced concrete foundations and soil for the purpose of improvement of national regulations and implementation of Eurocode system", where in situ tests of a series of reinforced concrete foundation footing by increasing the load until failure, was performed.
