Abstract
In the initial stages of cyclic load application, a foundation
undergoes some permanent settlement. This paper provides the
laboratory model test results for the cyclic load-induced settlement
for a strip foundation supported by a saturated clay. In
performing the tests, the foundation was initially subjected to an
allowable static load, after which a cyclic load with a frequency of
l cps was superimposed on it The magnitudes of the static load
and the amplitude of the cyclic load were varied. Based on the
model test results, relationships for the foundation settlement and
intensities of the static and cyclic loads are presented.
