Abstract
To research and analyze the additional stress distribution and change of granular materials, the model tests are used to observe vertical additional stress in different position and depth in different foundations. And the comparison between observed values both in different soils and single soils is conducted to analyze the transmission and attenuation of additional stress in granular materials. The research results show that the existing of boundary surface can lead to different vertical additional stress transmit obviously. And with the increasing of loading, the vertical additional stress differences between that of different soils get larger, meanwhile, the ratio of stress differences to smaller additional stress increases slightly. With the increasing of depth, the attenuation rate of vertical additional stress of silty soil changes much fast than that of fine sand. Wherever in horizontal direction or vertical direction, the vertical additional stress of fine sand which has higher compression modulus in different soils is slightly larger than that in single soil and transfers additional stress (loading) more under the same loading. To granular materials, inner friction structure effect is evident influence to additional stress transfer.
