The analysis of stresses and displacements beneath strip foundations in terms of FEM
Soil is a material dependent on the load history. The load history has a significant influence on stress distribution in the ground beneath the footing and the settlement of a foundation. In the paper the load history has been considered as the sequence of loading the ground with two strip footings. Differences in the distributions of stresses in the ground as well as the settlements of footings have been shown. Nonlinear load-settlement relationship does not allow the application of the principle of superposition.
