Authors present some factors influencing the values of sandy soils shear strength parameters, obtained by direct shear test (DST) in another paper for the conference. In mentioned paper, the influences of density, shear area changing and number of specimens on the test result of clayey sand (SC) and sand with some fines (S-F) are analysed. In this paper, authors present how various values of soils shear strength parameters obtained by DST will influence the size of spread foundation placed in those soils. In the p...
