Abstract
At present Computer-Aided Analysis of geotechnical problems is based to a considerable extent on non-linear behaviour models of soil. Application of these models makes it possible to describe the real stress-strain behaviour of soil mass under loading conditions more correctly. The method and computer system "Hypoplate" described in this paper predict with great accuracy the soil stress-strain relationships, including the settlements at pressures causing non-linear deformation. The computer system may be used for determining the soil base settlements or soil deformation parameters when it is difficult or impossible to do by conventional in-situ plate-bearing test (for example for saturated soft soils or offshore conditions).
