Foundation Failure of a Silo on Varved Clay
This study is a case record describing the bearing capacity failure of a farm silo near New Liskeard, Ont. The silo failed suddenly the day following its first filling to capacity. The failure of this silo, which was founded on a considerable depth of normally consolidated varved clay, provided an opportunity to assess the applicability of bearing capacity theories to a highly stratified clay.
