Determination of Parameter in Dynamic Testing of Foundation Bearing Capacity

The basic method for determining foundation bearing capacity is briefly introduced in this paper.The reliability of the method is dependent on the correct choice of ratio Ed/ E0. It is also analysed that Ed/ E0 is defined by the residual and elastic deformation of soil. Based on the laboratory test data the charts of Ed/ E0 are presented according to the soil types and their conditions. Based on the Ed/E0 charts author has revised the formula for calculating the modulus of deformation and bearing capacity of foundation which has been supported by engineering practice.
