EXPERIMENTAL AND THEORETICAL RATIONALE FOR MAXIMUM LOADING WITH A SPECIFIED DEGREE OF RISK WHEN SIMULATING THE OPERATION OF A 'BED-FOUNDATION-SUPERSTRUCTURE' SYSTEM

摘要

A procedure for carrying out and examining the results of experimental studies on reinforced concrete foundations under a superstructure over the entire load interval, up to failure. Conclusions are drawn regarding the comparability of results from experimental studies of punching shear failure in reinforced concrete foundation models at design loads obtained using theory-of-reliability methods.
