Abstract

In the first part of this paper we present footings tests performed in calibrated chamber on homogenous and layered samples. These tests are then compared with known experimental and analytical data on footings behaviour.

In the second part we present the simulation of experimental tests on homogeneous and layered sample by Lade’s elastoplastic model. This model has been introduced in a finite element program.
