Bearing Capacity of Foundations on Calcareous Sand
The paper describes a series of model footing tests on calcareous and silica sands under carefully-controlled laboratory conditions. The influence on bearing capacity of overburden pressure, relative density and cyclic loading is considered. The highly compressible nature of the calcareous sand results in substantially lower bearing capacities are compared with theoretical values and it is demonstrated that the most satisfactory theory is one based on a cavity expansion approach.
