Analysis of relative settlement of spread foundations

Abstract

In this article calculations of spread foundations according to the currently used norms BNaR2.02.01-83 and the normative documents ENV 1997 is analysed. While preparing the engineering technical regulation for local soil condition of Lithuania, it is advisable that the dimensions of the spread foundation should be choosen according to serviceability limit states using tha same experience as before. The relative settlement n of the spread foundation is about 1,2 percent as an average, when the average stress under the foundation base equal to the design pressure on the foundation soil.
