- Soil subjected to action of forces works in the elastic state. It corresponds to ULS in the codes (1, 2) and allows the adoption of principles of the linear theory of elasticity.
- Soil is an infinite elastic semispace within which material parameters are changed only in planes parallel to the surface.
- Calculations concern a rectangular foundation of infinite stiffness.
- Soil models are a discreet layered model with a constant layer thickness.
- When simplifications are required, or results of experimental research have been utilized, recommendations contained in references (2) have been put to use directly.
