MODEL EXPERIMENT ON LATERAL RESISTANCE OF FOOTING FOUNDATION IN CRUSHED STONE BED

This report covers model experiments with lateral strength of footing foundations, necessary to resist the forces which might develop in the course of an earthquake. To define the resistance of such foundations in sand and cohesive soils, a three - dimensional model was used. The cross section of the sliding surface and the scope of the rupture field were observed at the ultimate displacement. Determined were the passive coefficient in the passive state and the coefficient of horizontal subgrade reaction.
