Study on Influence of Poisson’s Ratio on Bearing Capacity of Subsoil

Article Preview

Abstract:

The formulas of critical edge pressure and critical load are usually developed by assuming Poisson’s ratio equal to 0.5. It means that the soil be in a triaxial equi-compression state. This assumption increases the lateral load of subsoil, and makes the subsoil be in intensive state, and results in a higher bearing capacity of subsoil. In the paper, a MATLAB program is used to find the numerical solution of bearing capacity of soil with different Poisson’s ratio. This method corrects some calculating mistakes when proposes calculation formulas of subsoil bearing capacity which obtains Poisson’s ratio unequal to 0.5. And it compensates the limitation of some other calculation formulas. The influence of shear strength parameters of subsoil on critical load is analyzed.
