DESCRIPTION OF A MODEL PREDICTING SETTLEMENT IN SOILS (IN PORTUGUESE)

A NEW SIMPLE MEAN IS DISCUSSED FOR PREDICTING SETTLEMENTS IN A SOIL UNDER KNOWN APPLIED LOADS THAT CAUSE STATES OF STRESS WHICH CAN BE DETERMINED BY ANALYTICAL MEANS. THE METHOD SUGGESTED USES AN ALMOST PERFECT MODEL, IN WHICH LOADING CONDITIONS ARE REPRODUCED AND THE RESULTING DEFORMATIONS IN THE PROTOTYPE. THE FINAL SETTLEMENT IS OBTAINED BY INTEGRATION OF SETTLEMENTS AT POINTS ALONG THE VERTICAL OF A SINGLE POINT. /LENC/RRL/
