Usage of the BRNL-FT program for foundation calculation using the method of the predefined equated soil settlements

摘要

The article considers the use of developed software, which is designed for spread foundation calculation using proposed method of predefined (by project designer) equated settlements. This method allows to decrease differential settlements to minimum acceptable value and to prevent the emergence of settlement cracks in building structures. Problem statement: Modern calculation of soils (according to the Russian building code SP 22.13330.2011) limits an actual soil pressure P_i by means of design resistance of a soil R. At the same time the pressure range (R
