The experience accumulated in Romania and worldwide by means of studies, design and control of the behaviour of many shallow foundations has rendered evident the existence of some soils, such as the loessial soils and the plastic clay fills, which are characterized by a high deformability, due to their sensitivity at wetting. One of the defining feature of these soils is their пїЅcontractancyпїЅ under the simultaneous action of compression and shear stresses. The macroporous soils, such as the loessial soils, have...
