Construction of buildings and structures on two-phase elastic bases

Abstract

The fundamental Boussinesq solution for a two-phase half-space obtained based on a kinematic model is used to calculate the stress-strain state of the base after the consolidation process. The results are presented for two uniform loads distributed over a circular or rectangular platform, the distance between which can vary. The solution is illustrated by graphs showing the effect of the liquid phase on the stress field and the displacement of the solid phase.
