Abstract

Several experimental measurements of reinforced concrete slab – subsoil interaction are
compared with numerical analysis of shallow foundation by means of FEM. At the Faculty of Civil
Engineering VSB – Technical University of Ostrava testing device was constructed so that the phenomena of
soil – foundation interaction could be experimentally investigated and compared with numerical models. The
experimental model was designed as a cutout of prestressed foundation slab-on-ground and the static load
test was conceived as a simulation of local loading of a square shape column. During the static load test,
measurements focused on observation of horizontal deformations, tension inside the slab and on the contact
surface between foundation structure and subsoil. The described static load test was part of a series of
experiments realized at the Faculty of Civil Engineering, VSB –Technical university of Ostrava.
