Abstract
The paper presents the results of model tests concerning the bearing capacity of a strip foundation resting on stratified subsoil. The foundation was loaded with vertical and inclined forces, acting axially and eccentrically. The subsoil assumed for the testing consisted of a strong layer overlying a weak one. Three principal problems were analysed based on results obtained from the model tests as follows: the effect of stratified subsoil on the foundation's bearing capacity, the effect of the loading system on the foundation's bearing capacity, and the effect of stratified subsoil on the settlement of the foundation. In the concluding remarks the mechanism of failure for stratified subsoil and practical notes on the soil bearing capacity under the analysed conditions are presented.
