Study on the Terzaghi Ultimate Bearing Capacity of Foundation Based on the Unified Strength Theory

The ultimate bearing capacity of foundation based on Mohr-Coulomb strength criterion did not analyze effect of intermediate principal stress on yield and failure of soil so that the disparity between results obtained using Mohr-Coulomb strength criterion and those from experimental data are produced .In the paper , The ultimate bearing capacity of foundation based on unified strength theory is established and a unified solutions are obtained. The corresponding solutions of different materials can be got from it .The unified solution can not only be used to fit the properties of the materials with different tension-pressure strength but also those with equal tension-pressure strength, Results show that ones make full use of the properties of the materials so as to reduce supports,which is of important significance for engineering.
