Estudio comparativo de metodologías aplicadas al diseño de cimentaciones superficiales en suelos blandos

Abstract

Abstract: The support capacity of soft soils is a determining factor to make a design of superficial foundations, there are various types of foundations, as well as design methodologies. The support capacity is the main condition to design this type of foundations. Therefore, for symmetrical buildings of 4 floors with residential occupancy and a loamy soil type "MH", the types of foundations are limited to the designs of foundation slab because the capacity of the soil is exceeded by the pressure exerted by the structure. In this work, is compared foundation slabs designed by traditional method and the Winkler method modeled by finite elements, it is modeling in Excel and Safe 2016 respectively. For a bearing capacity of 9.25 ton/m2, the soil pressure results obtained by both methods are 7.33 ton/m2 for the traditional method and 9.23 ton/m2 for the Winkler method modeled by finite elements and this is the main result required for procedure to design the assemble of the sub-structure.
