Model Test Research of Surcharge Contribution to Ground Bearing Capacity

Abstract:

To investigate the influence of surcharge on bearing capacity, model tests were performed. In the tests, 5 kPa and 10 kPa surcharge was applied on silt respectively. The bearing capacity factor Nq is smaller than theoretical solution, and is only of 60.3% and 80.5% of theoretical solution. Model test show that the ground failure mode is not general shear failure mode in condition of ground under surcharge. In bearing capacity calculation, if bearing capacity factor theoretical solution which is from general shear failure mode is applied, the result will be overestimate.
