Title: SMALL-SCALE FOOTING STUDIES ON SAND AND CLAY
Accession Number: 00233660
Record Type: Component
Abstract: SMALL-SCALE FOOTINGS HAVING CIRCULAR, RECTANGULAR AND SQUARE CONTACT AREAS WERE SUBJECTED TO A CONSTANT RATE OF PENETRATION. PRESSURE SINKAGE RELATIONSHIPS WERE OBTAINED FOR FOOTING PENETRATION UP TO 4 INCHES TO DETERMINE THE INFLUENCE OF SINKAGE RATE AND FOOTING GEOMETRY ON LOAD SINKAGE CHARACTERISTICS OF SOILS. PARTICULAR ATTENTION WAS GIVEN TO THE INITIAL PORTIONS OF THE LOAD SINKAGE CURVES TO DETERMINE TYPICAL FAILURE PATTERNS AND BEARING CAPACITIES. TEST SOILS CONSISTED OF A WET OTTAWA SAND PREPARED BY FLOODING THE ENTIRE SOIL BIN AND THEN COMPACTING BY QUICK DRAINAGE, AND A REMOLDED BOSTON BLUE CLAY. CONTROL PARAMETERS MEASURED IN EACH TEST CONDITION WERE MOISTURE CONTENT AND DENSITY.
