Investigation of the bearing capacity of beds of foundations with an inclined base

Conclusions1. Experiments showed that the total influence of the coefficients taking into account the inclination of the load in conformity with SNiP II-15-74 substantially underestimates the bearing capacity of beds. Correction of the values of these coefficients is possible, provided the accumulation of considerable experimental data.2. The bed bearing capacity does not depend on the sign of eccentricity in the plane of one of the axes of the foundation.3. For large inclinations of the load it is expedient to change to foundations with an inclined base, which permits increasing the bed bearing capacity as much as 40%.
