Experimental study of load bearing capacity of sand under foundations built directly on surface

DeBeer, E.E. / Vesic, A.B.

152 tests were made with sands from quarry of Mol, of various volumetric weights, screened to 0.589 mm mesh size; equipment used in tests; "critical compactness" of sand is determining factor for failure by subsidence and compressibility of sand determines limit of failure by displacement.
