Paper Title
Distribution and Analysis of Stresses and Settlements in the Soil Layers Under the Foundations of the Building
Abstract
The many and varied changes in the soil layers of the construction sites of various engineering projects require the necessary geotechnical studies and the obtaining of the important and necessary soil coefficients in the design processes of building foundation. The distribution and analysis of stresses and settlements in the soil layers under the foundations of buildings is one of the things that specialists and researchers must pay attention to for the safety of engineering structures.And for the study and analysis, two soil sections with some characteristics were chosen, as well as the selection of shallow foundations for a building, as shown in this paper. This paper is to demonstrate and highlight the importance of knowledge and analysis of different stresses and settlements in different soil layers, especially under the foundations of a building. A statement was made, clarification and analysis of their distribution in the soil layers were done, a discussion of the results was conducted, and a summary of conclusions and recommendations was made.
Keywords - Geotechnical Studies, Stresses and Settlements of Soil Layers, Requirements for the Design of Building Foundations.
