Abstract

This research aims to verify the stress distribution in soil according to the composition of the soil layer in case of surface loading. For this purpose, loading tests with measurement of stresses in the soil on four kinds of layered model ground in laboratory were performed. Those are (1)homogeneous sand, (2)gravel underlain by sand, (3)sand underlain by clay and (4)gravel underlain by clay. Test results are compared and analysed for the compositions of the soil layers. based on the results obtained, it is found that the larger the difference of the strengths of upper and lower layer is, the smaller the stress in the soil in case of surface loading is.
