Abstract:
      When it proposes calculation formulas of critical edge pressure pcr of subsoil and critical load p1/4, coefficient of earth pressure at rest K0 equals to 1. It means that the field of geostatic stress equal to hydrostatic state stress. This supposal increases the lateral load of subsoil, and makes the subsoil be in intensive state, that results in a higher bearing capacity of subsoil. Determining the stress state of one point in subsoil, then proposing approximate formulas of subsoil critical edge pressure and critical load when K0≠1 based on Mohr-Coulomb criterion. This method corrects some calculating mistakes when it proposes calculation formulas of subsoil bearing capacity which obtains K0≠1 by some scholars. And it compensates the limitation of some other calculation formulas. The influence of shear strength indexes on critical load of subsoil is found. Conditions which are applicable to the approximate formula are given.
