Sequence of calculation of anisotropic soil foundations on deformation

The article presents the sequence of calculation of ground bases for deformations, taking into account their deformation anisotropy. The calculations were performed by the finite element method using the mathematical planning of the experiment. It is established that after determining the index of the deformation anisotropy of the soil, you can use the results of the numerical experiment and the tables of the coefficients of the soil anisotropy influence, calculate the sediment of the soil base and layers of different thickness by any of the currently existing methods, taking into account their deformation anisotropy. It was revealed that the nature of the deformation anisotropy of the studied soil types is different. With an increase in the compressive load, the values of α increase, and with an increase in α value, the values of the sediment of the foundations increase as well. Taking into account the natural anisotropy of soils makes it possible to more reasonably prescribe the dimensions of the base of the foundations and determine their draft, and in some cases obtain a noticeable economic effect.
